It is time and past time that any subsidy for converting feed grains into alcohol (ethanol) for motor fuel to be abolished.
If alcohol is that good a thing for a motor fuel, then it is easier, cheaper and far more feasible to convert a fraction of natural gas, ethylene, to 95% ethanol. This is already done on an industrial scale throughout the world.
For technical reasons, it is difficult to produce 100% ethanol, as the distillation and condensation point of ethanol-water mixture is LOWER than 100% totally water-free alone, and in an open container, the additional water is reabsorbed from the atmosphere until the equilibrium point of 95% purity is again achieved.
I am in 100% agreement. And that 100% will not be dropped down, due to atmospheric (the political atmosphere type) absorption, Trump (who supports ethanol from corn) or no Trump.
