Ethanol is a huge boondoggle that enriches farmers and a few large companies and does nothing to reduce our dependence on oil, encourages farming practices that hurt the environment more than any benefit from renewable fuels and exists solely because of government subsidies from planting the corn to pumping the ethanol into your tank. It would be cheaper if the federal government just wrote subsidy checks directly to corn farmers.
“Ethanol is a huge boondoggle that enriches farmers and a few large companies “
I object to that statement as I am a farmer and do not grow corn. I am like the overwhelming numbers of farmers in this country, many of whom cannot grow corn.
Suggest you modify that by saying “a few farmers”
