The whole problem here is that liberals and environmentalists simply will not leave business alone and insist on over-regulating, harassing, taxing, and sueing the private sector at every opportunity. Liberals are in a constant cold war against the private sector. The right way to reduce pollution and increase energy independence is to produce more oil and gasoline and develop more fuel-efficient engines and transmissions and lighter vehicles. This ethanol mandate is just plain stupid and a huge unjustified tax on the American public and a subsidy for an uneconomical industry that could never survive without subsidies.
