What we need is a government mandate! We need to mandate that all cars sold in the United States, starting with the 2010 model year, be “flex-fuel vehicles” – that is, they should be able to run on a blend that is 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline (the so-called E85 blend), or even a coal-derived methanol/gas mixture. This mandate would cost a fraction of the new fuel economy standard with the added benefit of saving barrels more oil.
Yes…that’s right. Santorum’s answer to the energy crisis…was corn.
You idiot. He was saying this as an alternative to the cafe standards and other crap that is holding us back. Would you rather he sat on a couch making out with Nancy Pelosi over “global warming” like a certain ‘other’ conservative?
No wonder he did so well in Iowa. He could’ve been there that whole year talking ethanol mandates.
