Uh, so the new epa water ruling apparently doesn't affect the ethanol production? Or something. Don't you just love another govt agency that can implement rules and regs that carry the weight of law just cause they want to? Guess now that the republiCANT's are in charge they'll finally put this agency out of our misery. Oh, never mind. Not gonna happen.

The greed crazed corn farmers and fertilizer companies are in cahoots with the EPA here. Everyone who services farmers such as farm equipment dealers want more and ethanol shoved down our throats even with the low oil prices

[no-to-illegals]

suspect corn production being diverted to fuel production is leaving less food for cattle production ... Know the epa thinks this is dandy ... less cattle flatulence and higher beef prices ... a win/win/win for the epa

Ethanol bad
Butanol good

Ethanol kills....

Biofuels do more harm than good, UN warns

Ethanol production by fermentation has a huge carbon footprint. I’ve done a bit of home brewing and a gallon of beer produces at least a couple of cubic feet of carbon dioxide during fermentation.

Then there’s an additional small fermentation in the bottle to carbonate it.

If the EPA really wanted to reduce they’d ban the production of fermented adult beverages.

See how long the EPA lasts after that... ;^}

Nixon created the EPA by executive order based on the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act.

EPA: Stop burning our food!

They are also trying to reduce the energy supply along the way. No lights, no meat. GMO everything else.

Lots of ethanol blended into our gasoline in California. That’s green, right? Yet the production of corn releases more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the ethanol-blended gasoline prevents. Lots of corn produced in California, about 16 percent of the nation’s production. Corn production depletes aquifers and streams and contributes to oxygen-deprived “dead zones” lethal to marine life. In California, where we have an extreme water shortage, it can take more than 3,500 liters of water to produce a single liter of ethanol (according to researchers at UC Berkeley). The EPA is our enemy, making things worse for all of us!

That would be the lobbies for Ethanol? Never have figured out how the EPA regulates vehicles moving from state to state with different requirements for fuel as regulated by the EPA...........
