Burning food while more of the world goes hungry...
I thought Lefties were supposed to be against stuff like that?
I guess that was before they decided that the existence of other people is a burden on Mother Earth.

Here’s another part of the story..
“Is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stoking inflation? Of course he is. Anyone with common sense knows that if you give $600 billion cash to the banks with no qualifications — as he did with the second round of quantitative easing — they will use it to speculate in the markets.”

Put corn in our cars, let people starve, ruin our fuel systems and pollute the atmosphere. What’s not to like?

FTA: "...the ethanol industry's projected orders this year rose 8.4 percent, to 13.01 billion bushels, after record-high production in December and January."
Let's see. Ethanol lowers gas mileage, clogs fuel filters, and is now causing a corn shortage, which will raise not only the price of corn but also of beef since farmers will have to pay more for feed corn. The more evidence that piles up that something shouldn't be done, the more determined liberals are to do it.

Man, we gotta quit burning our fructose sweetened soft drinks!
Wondering why reserves were so low in 1996, being that ethanol wasn’t a factor at that time?

Wait until greenies discover that it's more efficient to render fat dead people into heating oil than it is distill corn or celulose plant matter into alchohols.
Think of the paradox? Watch out Michael Moore and Oprah!

Well, I guess shrinking the food supply is a good way to achieve the Wookie's goal of smaller meals.

“At his family-owned cattle feedlot, Couser said he witnesses first-hand that food versus fuel is an absolute myth. He delivers corn to the ethanol plant harvested on his farm, and then takes the co-product distillers grain home to incorporate into the feeding ration for his cattle. Not everyone realizes that only the starch portion of the corn kernel is used to make ethanol, and all the nutrients from the corn fat, fiber, protein etc. is returned to the feed/food supply in the form of distillers grain.” http://ethanol.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/08/distillers-grain-debunks-food-vs-fuel.html
I have driven by many ethanol plants, and not one has a huge pile of distillers grain setting around it.

Let's turn cheap, nutritious food into expensive, inefficient fuel. Since it's a major engine-wrecking, peon-starving, money-losing proposition that nobody in his right mind would do willingly, let's subsidize it by digging deep into millions of taxpayers' pockets; and dammit anyway, jail them if they squawk.
And to think that 235 years we fought a Revolution against a mad king that wanted to tax tea.

Yes, all the excess is in your damned gas tank, eating away at rubber hoses, gaskets, seals, sensors, etc.....aren’t we all glad that Ethanol is helping us to reduce our dependence on foreign oil?

Eliminate the ethanol tax subsidies and we see how long it (ethanol production) lasts.
This crap is going to crater the ag economy within few years.
The boom and bust cycle in ag hasn't gone away.

Suspend Ethanol production... and save the endangered internal combustible engines.

Which is why a lot of ethanol plants have shut down or idled production. That and the price point isn’t there.
The bigger issue is that this means sugar prices will go up, a lot.
