Ethanol: a substance based on a lie of saving the world
The fact that this ridiculous subsidy - for a very expensive, polluting and inefficient energy source, that neither left nor right wants, nor even farmers care about any longer - can't be killed, shows how bloated and ossified Fed.gov is.
It was methanol, from what I heard.
Ethanol equal less MPG, clogged small engines, and vote-buying subsidies for farmers.
