We have alcohol in gas because we were taken to court by a foreign country and accused of subsidizing our farmers, which is a violation of the global agreement on tariffs and taxes (GATT.) We were found guilty which enabled all of our trading partners to retaliate. But there was a clause in the GATT allowing us to do things for defense. So, reducing the amount of gas used became a national defense priority, which is legal. They put alcohol in gas and pumped billions of dollars to farmers. And, that is how this incredible stupidity started.
So the “environist” want to be rid of ethanol? The best way to accomplish that is to get the Keystone pipeline going. You won’t need ethanol any longer and, we can turn our local ethanol plant from processing corn to processing POTATO’S and we all know potato’s make really good vodka.
