I remember when we were fed the line, by congress, that putting ethanol in gasoline would keep gasoline prices low as if nobody, in congress LOL, saw this coming. Higher gasoline prices and higher food prices because of ethanol in gasoline. Action / Reaction syndrome ignored by congress again. congress is outstanding in their stupidity.
They’re not stupid. Just corrupt.
It has long been my opinion that converting food into fuel is a sin. Even if we, as Americans, can afford corn prices somewhat higher, what about the rest of the world where lots of extremely poor people depend on US-grown corn for their staple foods?
We are pushing people into starvation with the false economy of converting corn into motor fuel. It does not save oil at all.
