put the Left on the defensive
/// i applaud your effort! but there are plenty of idiots on the right on ethanol.

ethanol is insane on sooo many levels.
leftys say it fights global warming
(when CO2 doesn’t cause it, and the world has been getting COLDER since 2003, as it enters another Maunder Minimum.)

rightys say ethanol reduces our foreign dependence.
but, in the entire (Pop Deming) process,
it takes MORE btus to make a gallon of ethanol, than it contains!
so, NET,
it INCREASES our foreign dependence,
and INCREASES the price of oil.

...and costs taxpayers over 6 billion a year, on top!

if we can’t even get this insanity killed, then i have lost all hope...

You left out the reduced efficiency of ethanol compared to raw gasoline as well as its deleterious effects on engines, especially small engines.
