I assume Newt missed the memo that each gallon of ethanol requires energy inputs equivalent to 1 1/3 gallons of fossil fuel. All this insanity to counter Algore’s non-existant anthropogenic global warming hoax. I know Newt’s smarter than that.

Sounds like he’s pandering to the Agribusiness lobby which is sucking on fedzilla’s teat for all those subsidies for ethanol so we can continue to burn our FOOD and ruin the engines in our vehicles. That’s ONE way to get more of us off the road.

On a similar note, these environwhackos are now pushing 15% ethanol in the gasoline. I just bought a new gas powered string trimmer. The manual warns that use of E15 gas will void the warranty as it will probably DESTROY THE ENGINE! Brilliant, huh?

“each gallon of ethanol requires energy inputs equivalent to 1 1/3 gallons of fossil fuel.”

Exactly correct. It’s not coincedence that the price of both food and oil has gone up as the ethanol mandates have kicked in. Using oil to boil the corn to make ethanol is ultra wasteful. The higher price of food and fuel is directly responsible for the riots around the world. People who live on $2 a day are getting crushed. Ethanol is racist, it kill brown and black and yellow people at a much higher rate than white people!

I will never be convinced that he's not in on the scam$$$. He is very intelligent. That intelligence includes how to make MONEY!
