The only one committing treason is Senator Grassley and his handlers at ADM.

Senator Charles Grassley, Republican of Iowa, accused the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the group leading the public relations fight against ethanol, of “treasonous” acts...

Senator Grassley has an odd concept of "treasonous". When improving the lot of American consumers -- that is, American consumers of both food and fuel -- becomes a "treasonous" act, one should carefully examine exactly where one stands.

Otherwise, one is liable to get one's ass thrown out of one's cushy Senatorial seat.

“This is a critically important decision that will determine the future of biofuels in this country,” said Brent Erickson, a lobbyist at the Biotechnology Industry Organization

Ah, ah, ah Brent. Let's not let the hyperbole get out of hand now.

I think you meant to say, "This is a critically important decision that will determine the future of ethanol as fuel in this country".

Or...did you mean to be disingenuous?

His request for an emergency waiver cutting the ethanol mandate to 4.5 billion gallons

C'mon Perry, ask to get rid of it entirely. The EPA is likely going to overrule you on this anyway, bunch of unelected bureaucrats who got fricking more power than Congress.

I really don’t think this is going to be much of an issue. As soon as the price of fuel drops, the price of food is going to drop too. By the time they get the ethanol mandate relaxed, the fuel bubble will already be collapsed.

“When you find yourself in a hole, you have to quit digging,” Mr. Perry said in an interview. “And we are in a hole.”

Perry stopped shilling for illegals and tollways to say something he really should know something about.

Congress should repeal the Corn Laws. If all the farmland in the US was used to grow corn, and all that corn was converted to ethanol, it would only meet about 10% of our fuel needs. Food prices would be sent into orbit around Jupiter, causing a political revolution.

The Corn Laws are already inflating food prices, and the energy needed to convert corn to ethanol makes the entire process counterproductive.

This article doesn’t go deep enough into the BRIBE paid to Perry to do this. He also strong-armed his alma mater because he didn’t like the results of a study that they’d done.
