People pushing ethanol should be placed into concentration camps and worked until death.

Contrary to what oil companies and middle east producers say, renewable fuel does have a place in the energy pie. Virtually every article about ETOH, lies by omission, about the fact that corn used in ETOH production also produces high protein feed for livestock, not just the alcohol. There is no more efficient way to capture solar energy than to use plants as the transducer.

I just paid for a new carburetor on my lawnmower.

The old one was eaten up by ethanol fuel.

The aluminum just started turning to powder, the mechanic called it “white rust”.It is the result of water in the ethanol causing an electrolysis like event.

The crap gets down in the Needle and seat and plugs it up. The machine runs until the bowl empoties , then stops and starts a while later after the bowl refills.

New carburetors aint cheap.

Fine, then there would be no need for government mandates for E10, E15 or E85.

Even E10 does a number on small engines.

You forgot to add daily waterboarding and electric torture.

Liberals are slime.

Pure slime.

No food for fuel.

The oil industry should concentrate on producing food out of oil.

When there was 4% in the gas it took out my fuel pump on my old truck.

So to save oil they put in 10% corn crap (15% shortly) and my fuel mileage drops from 25 MPG to 22.3 MPG (have verified this many times) or about an 10.8% decrease in fuel mileage and higher food prices.

Only a brain dead politician could force this on the public.

Try Star Tron Enyzme fuel stabilizer. It seems to work the best. I have tried them all. I would suggest only buying gasoline one gallon at a time. Also, buy super unleaded instead of regular. Lastly, if you have a machine that does not get used every week(like a brush trimmer)empty the fuel out. Never leave fuel in the tank in the off season. You will definetly plug you jets. Ethanol will also dissolve the rubber fuel lines.

Stop all subsidies for oil, ethanol, solar, and wind.
Put two gas pumps, side by side at all stations, and see which one goes away in less than two years.
Competition will take care of the prices, and free men will chose what they want to put in their cars and trucks.

People pushing ethanol should be placed into concentration camps and worked until death.

However, they should get three meals a day:

Breakfast:
Corn Chex or grits


Lunch:

Corn fritters

Dinner:

Corn on the cob

No cane sugar products .... KARO only.

No plain water, only HFCS-sweetened soft drinks.

Bourbon is allowed for good behaviour.

The Obama administration takes no action for the sake of the environment. The environment is just an excuse and a political organizational tool. Gotta’ keep those Green voters on his side, while satisfying the unions at the same time.

So, Obama off loads the responsibility for everything to someone else, the State Dept,, Congress, and now it looks like it is going to be some international trade organization for the Pacific, which will have the power to assess a carbon tax on all multi-national companies. Remember, Obama said if the Congress won’t act, he will, but the action won’t be to pass a carbon tax in the US, it will be to sign on to the new Pacific trade agreement which will assess the tax.

Obama has already turned the Keystone pipeline and the sub-bituminous coal terminals over to Congress (the Senate), where Patty Murray has already put the funding into the Democrat budget bill. I don’t know what additional funding the Keystone Pipeline requires, but she put in for Warren Buffet’s rail improvements and all the funding for the coal terminals in WA and Oregon.

The idea is that the Greens should be appeased by the Obama support for the carbon tax. He thinks that he can continue to play both sides of every energy issue and skim the profits right off the top and into the coffers of the Democrat special interests. Then on top of that, he is trying to divide the Republicans on the whole issue.

You want free trade? You have to accept the carbon tax. You want ethanol to keep farm prices high? You are going to take the Pacific trade agreement with the international carbon tax.

It was reported in Toronto that the Obama agreed to approve the Keystone Pipeline once Canada agrees to the carbon tax.

“Never leave fuel in the tank in the off season”

Most of which gets dumped on the ground in the name of saving the environment. It’s a grand scheme.
