high food prices be danged..MORE ETHANOLLLLL!
And destroy even more small engines...
The change just acknowledges the reality of static ethanol production due to low prices, and, in the case of cellulosic ethanol, the lack of any production breakthroughs.
In other words, an admission that fairy dust can’t be mandated.
Grief, no. I am tired of buying a gallon of gas, then getting 90% gas and 10% filler. Ethanol takes food out of the mouths of the hungry worldwide just so some US nutjob, eco-wacko can feel good about saving the environment or some such nonsense. Get this dreck out of my gas tank and into the bellies of the hungry. Win-win for everyone.
What does ethanol do for us?
1. Reduces the efficiency of your engine resulting in lower gas mileage.
2. Destroys the seals in small engines.
3. Is an environmental disaster.
4. Drives up the cost of food production.
5. Cost the American Tax Payer billions each year.
6. Is the cause of major nitrate pollution in the Mississippi River Basin.
7. Makes Archer Danials Midland rich whom then gives millions of dollars to Congress to keep this insane program going.
More ethanol so I get to buy more expensive additives to prevent fuel system damage or worse yet buy new carburetors.
The left is so counter productive to their own ways. A small engine starves for fuel because the passages are corroded, so the choke is partially closed to get it to run, and the engine run rich - which equals pollution which is what the left claims they want to reduce.
They sell gas cans with no second opening for a vent, with some stupid tube in the spout that is supposed to work, but often restricts or stops the flow. So people remove the spout, and spill gas, which creates more pollution.
Iowa will grease all the palms required to keep ethanol from corn a requirement.
I have had my tag for a long time.
I spent a few years of childhood, in a farm town in northeastern Colorado.
At the time the main crop was sugar beets. But now the main crop is federally stimulated, subsidized corn for ethanol.
The fields and the town appear much more prosperous, now.
These simple members of “middle America” are now on the teat, and my guess is plenty of Republican politicians will help them. Ken Buck, staunch conservative, is their Rep.
Feed it to the cattle and get rid of this grass fed crap meat!!!!
