Hahahaha.
Donald brings a bazooka to Ted’s knife fight.
Ethanol as a fuel is expensive and bad for the environment.
The Ethanol mandate is nothing more than a scheme to take money out of consumer pockets and put it in the hands of wealthy well connected political cronies.
Doubling down on a very bad program.
Hey Trumpophiles, that’s your Donald.
If they put any more than 10% in the gasoline, it will damage older engines.
Donald Trump = Republican Obama.
I studied this one with M. Levine.
Ethanol is subsidized. Ethanol kills motors.
Wow. My first disagreement with the man.
Hey, it will happen.
He is a business man. Would know this is bad all around?
I don’t credit “The Hill” for accuracy, so I will address the science on this: ethanol is inefficient, polluting and destructive in motor vehicle gasoline.
The source article and headline say different things. Why is that?
Trump called for following the biofuel blend standard. He didn’t call for increasing the amount of ethanol in gasoline.
Deceprion is all you’ve got these days?
Whatever if takes to win.
Support for the Kelo decision and Ethanol subsidies clearly demonstrate Trump is not in favor of free markets.
Just what you would expect from a pandering conman liberal.
It is disappointing, though, that he does seem to be pandering.
Whatever it takes to buy votes.
Will be interesting to see how the voracious and viscous Trumpeters respond to this call which will destroy most engines on and off the road today. Will they be willing to keep using food as a fuel and forcing food prices higher worldwide?
To answer your question - Trump is not a conservative not now or ever and as things roll along his real politics will be come more and more evident. His politics could end up making Jeb look like a conservative and Hilary a well-meaning moderate to Trump’s right.
Trump like Hillary is a slick opportunistic salesman saying whatever people want to hear in the moment - he believes in nothing but himself.
Biofuels are a dead end, and only remotely would only make good sense if the world suffered some apocalyptic collapse, in which it was impossible to transport other fuels to the site where the raw materials for biofuels may be much more plentiful.
Whale oil, once widely used for lamps, was a biofuel on which the limitations quickly became apparent, as the whales got hunted very nearly to extinction. Sort of renewable, if the crop were only carefully nurtured.
Biofuels make a serious distortion of any ecosystem, including the cultivation of maize for its potential as a fuel source. And in the end it is pretty much a wash so far as the energy recovered versus the fossil fuel consumed in its production. Ethanol, particularly, only provides a “feel-good” for persons with selective blindness to the effects their pet idea has on the environment as a whole.
Recycling cooking oil as a Diesel fuel substitute makes a LITTLE more sense, in that a product that would have been discarded is put to one last useful purpose, but even that involves somewhat more than just pouring it straight from the collection vats into the fuel tank of a Diesel-powered vehicle. Plant source oils are notorious for forming up into polymers that clog fuel lines and foul injector needles.
Trump believes in winning. He will say, do and deal whatever to win and beat opponents. To Donald Trump winning trumps idealogy.
Keep that stuff out of cars. It’s terrible. Sell it as cheap vodka to the Russians instead.
Feed your engine some ethanol, and it will love you for it.
Someone please explain where this clown has done or said anything consistently conservative!
No, thank you.
