Obammy wants everyone to live in a hood. Ride a public bus driving a union bus.

production for biofuels has been exceeding comsumption (in the annual totals) since then end of 2007, and even in 2010, 2011 and 2012 only a few months demonstrate production levels lower than consumptions levels

Yep, we were a net exporter of ethanol for a few years until lately.

Needless to say, we need to stop turning food into fuel and help lower the food costs that rise at a 15 percent annual rate.

NO MANDATE....

You mean we weren’t the only nation with corrupt and politicized science and business interests willing to take advantage of the political corruption of science, becuase putting it to use is profitable, especially of the politicians will subsidize it???

Wow, no corn is being harvested in the US right now, and the *price of it is high*?!? Amazing. And the ethanol for the off-season was produced when the corn was in plenty? It’s almost as if this is an example of planning ahead or something.
