Some refuse to admit the obvious. They are the same ones out to destroy the US and are doing a very good job of it.
Not to mention the ground water that is wasted. What an insane policy..
It would make my day if ethanol would disappear! I would do a happy dance. Right now we can still buy real gas, but I hate it when we are in other states and are forced to use that stuff. How is it that something that gives worse gas mileage, ruins engines, and pollutes MORE than real gas is still being produced and promoted?
The environuts are destroying our world. Maybe that is their real goal - to rid the world of excess population, as Scrooge would put it. They have even made it harder for asthmatics to breathe by taking CFCs out of inhalers. The new ones are more expensive and useless. I don’t even fill my prescription even more and have to break out the nebulizer if I need it.
True however if you are too inept to be any damn good at anything else you become a liberal politician.
If you start out with your head stuck up your a$$, you train to be a politician by becoming a community organizer first.
Everything gets better and cheaper over time, except where the government gets invoved.
Gas is worse and more expensive since the govt forced us to burn food instead of eat it.
It shouldn’t take a University professor to state that my food should be on my plate instead of in my car. Still, I’m glad someone has figured it out.
Hannibal Lecter says environmentalists taste like chicken. Send them to the poor countries.

The soaring food prices are the result of the high price of fuel that is used to produce, harvest and process/transport the food products. The price of everything including toilet paper is up because of fuel prices and it’s not because wood chips are used to make alcohol (which they are). If the amount of human consumable food product that is used to make alcohol for fuel was to immediately be shifted to food products the affect of price and availability of food would be insignificant. It’s the taxes, lack of drilling and exploitation of our own resources that are driving high prices.
Corn ethanol will not work without massive government subsidies from seed to gas pump. Without these subsidies ethanol blended fuels will be even more expensive than regular gasoline and the market will quickly abandon ethanol fuels.
I’m still scratching my head over how putting 10% ethanol in my gasoline,
that then gives me 10% less fuel economy, makes me less dependent on arab oil.
Angry Ben Cardin is doing the right thing for a change? Hell just froze over.
However, Cardin and Coburn can forget about running for President. Iowa, you know.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
MTBE was just fine as an additive and we didn’t have to use food for fuel.
