This right here ought to be enough to not vote for this man, even without his equivocating on 2nd Amendment rights and on amnesty. It’s pandering to big corn and Iowa votes is what it is. Ethanol destroys parts of systems in which it is used, let alone not delivering the energy equivalent of gasoline.

Ben Carson may be a brain surgeon, but he doesn’t know squat about energy.

We need to end ALL ethanol subsidies.

Speaking personally... Ethanol as it’s used in Gasoline-Ethanol blends is a bad thing for engines big and small. And as such it should be the choice of the consumer on which they would use, Gasohol or straight gasoline.

Sort of like cigarettes, cigars and e-cigs.

But no... the government in all of it’s ‘nannyness’ just has to get involved.

Not a dime’s worth of difference.

I will rule him out because of this. He is clearly selling out.

Embarrassing pandering. Also, there are no oil subsidies.

Does this idiot know what ethanol does to combustion engines? Does he know what it does to fuel mileage? I guess he has now revealed his true character. When in one audience, cater to them. When in a different audience, cater to them. Screw ethics, standards and moral convictions in order to get a few extra votes.

what part of “ “I don’t particularly like the idea of government subsidies for anything because it interferes with the natural free market,” Carson said” don’t you understand?

“30% ethanol won’t even power a lawnmower”

Oh, it will. For a very short time.
Even 15% ethanol will destroy 2 cycle and 4 stroke powered engines. Guess you can use a machete to trim those weeds....
