The bill is crap and this is part Bush’s fault. If the US wants Ethanol it should buy it from Brazil.
Ethanol is an absolute product of government intervention. Even in Brazil it would not exist without government subsidies. In a truly free society Ethanol would NEVER be produced anywhere on Earth. The world has at leas 300 years of oil left (minimal) That number would go much hight, if exploratory drilling wasn't shackled by the evil left. It is astounding how so many pols on the right, go along with the Stalinist left on so many issues. Some strong conservative must stand up and say that Ethanol is a total scam, along with AGW. Some strong conservative must stand up and tell the public that Ethanol MUST be killed before it, along with illegal immigration will destroy our way of life. The enviro nuts are more anti-human that Stalin.
