With Joe Biden's waiver of E15 Ethanol, maybe citizens of NYC, Washington (DC), Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City - probably should expect more SMOG Alerts.
There is a reason the E15 restriction during summer is part of the CLEAN AIR ACT. More SMOG is generated by alcohol evaporation in Summer than other times.
CNN has the SCIENCE behind it in the following article:
What are the pros and cons of E15 gas? Here’s what to know about Biden’s order
The US needs to promote more oil and gas drilling/production and even coal production.
Not this stupidity - Joe Biden style...
If only we could turn the clock back a hundred years, the air was so much cleaner then...oh wait.
Translation: buying ethanol free gas will cost more if it’s not outright banned.
We’re heading into a food shortage so the Democrats want to use more corn to ruin our fuel?
This is criminal maladministration.
Just in time too! We’re being told that there are going to be food shortages, so what do they propose? Turning more corn into ethanol. BRILLIANT!
Ethanol-free gas is effectively banned in any area that is an EPA non-attainment area where oxygenated gas is required, because the only alternative oxygenate to ethanol is MTBE and no oil company will use MTBE due to the liability.
Hey - food prices are at record levels. Let’s burn more food!
There is a fertilizer shortage. Should the fertilizer we can get be used to grow food or to grow what’s used to make ethanol?
Farmer’s who have held on to last season’s corn will see an increase in prices.
Joe Biden is such a jerk that he cannot see what he is doing to the citizens of the United States of America, or perhaps he does not care, or maybe he is doing it deliberately. I do not believe he is that stupid. I also do not believe he does not care. Now we are down to the third option, that it is deliberate. This is looking like the real reason he is doing it, to destroy this country!
Exactly! In one fell stroke the Democrats are causing an energy crisis AND a famine!
Hopefully Trump will fire every last one of those unelected career criminals in the EPA when he gets back in.
CNN?
What this is doing is allowing E15 to be sold longer into the year.
It’s not a bad idea even if Biden is the one allowing it.
Go back to cheap, engine-friendly, leaded gasoline, please.
The environment doesn’t matter when Democrats are trying to survive a blowout election in November!

by about $6 a bag according to one poster, up from $4 to $10 a bag
And during a grain shortage, more of the corn will be made into alcohol.
On the other hand, projected lower yields next year due to sky high fertilizer costs so let’s take our surplus and turn it into fuel.

1922? The air was worse then! No smog rules, mass burning of coal and wood, plus there were still many horse drawn carts with all of the associated equine by-products.

Yes, corn tastes much better after it has been turned into fuel. Everyone knows that, right?
