Burning food for fuel is very stupid. Raised world food prices and starved a lot of people.

I have had my tag line for a long time.

Time for the EPA to go away.

I have had my tag line for a long time.

And a fine tag line it is. I wouldn't be surprised if the CORN producers quietly supported the U.S. sugar tariffs, so that real sugar doesn't threaten the HFCS dominance in baked goods and bottled beverages.

The thing about burning food for fuel is more of a myth than reality from my standpoint. We eat about 2% of the corn we raise and use another 8-10% for syrup, etc. used in manufacturing food products. Ethanol uses mostly #1 Dent [field corn] and the residual cake is used for livestock feed. The planted acres of corn in the country have remained roughly the same since the 90’s but production per acre has soared with the new hybrids and better use of technology, including irrigation. The land around our farm has produced 30% more corn since 2001.

I hate ethanol in fuel for what it does to older engines and small, especially 2 cycle engines, but it sure isn’t causing anyone to starve.
