“Can someone explain what is really going on behind the scenes? After decades of politicians bowing down to every wish of the corn industry:
(1) Al Gore comes out and says corn ethanol was a mistake.
(2) Then just days later, congress moves to cut corn ethanol subsidies.
SOMETHING happened to cause this sudden change. It didn’t just happen overnight without someone behind the scenes orchastrating it.”
Notice that algore came out against “first generation” ethanol - derived from corn.
This is a step to mandating “second generation” cellulosic ethanol from grasses and other sources. The science IS NOT THERE to make this feasible. This effort is part of the green agenda. There are a several global warmer senators who signed the letter.
Don’t be fooled. Ethanol from corn is multiples more efficient than ethanol from grasses - including the famous switchgrass. Let congress know that you do not support this ethanol from grass boondoggle.
My bet is that they’re going to up the tax at the pump.
