Excuse me, but that is what a mandate IS. They are REQUIRED BY LAW to blend a specified amount of ethanol into the gasoline. Unless you don't drive, you have to buy the ethanol. So the oil refiners are REQUIRED to buy the ethanol. There is no way around it.
Good post.
Opinions are just that. We each have our own. Bob Dole is fine with me. He beats most today. We will see who loses and I want the America back that I knew before Cruz was born. Cruz took money from two queer hotel owners in NYC. There has to be something to that.
There is a station 15 miles from my house that sells straight premium. Go electric, or mass transit,especially in CA. People without cars in big cities don’t buy it— is the law after them. No, because no one forces them to buy it.
Do you own a refinery? No, so no one is forcing you to buy ETOH.
But when Cruz visited the homosexula hotel owners he didn’t change position unlike Trump who has flipped flopped over the last couple of years. Trump has no convictions beyond people stroking his huge ego.
I don't know. Can you?
'bye.
Wow you really are clueless on this subject.
We do not know what he said. I doubt queers would host a fundraiser plus give substantially unless they were given a deal.
So inform me about leases on public lands.
We don’t know the meeting with the homosexual hotel guys was a fundraiser, fot a link for that assertion?
When I said ALL, I meant ALL.
It wouldn’t JUST be subsidies, it’s got to be a return of the Free Market.
We’d also have to strip out all that which govt does to benefit one over another. Monopolies (too big to fail) cannot exist w/out govt. torquing the system.
The only reason it’s cheaper to make/ship from China is the corp. tax rate, EPA, OSHA, unions, regs, HCare...all the GOVT.
If milk costs $7/gal, it costs $7/gal. But, *I* have the freedom to choose WHEN/IF I buy at that price.
I’m fine with that.
Actually, the link norwaypinesavage sent is from Auburn but is about irrigated corn grown on the high dry plains in Texas, a poor place to grow corn anyway. Most corn of course is dry land raised and the article provides some good science-based evidence, not the left’s usual attack on private businesses. The following is straight out of the executive summary of the article and is supportive of what I have written. “l.1 A more comprehensive analysis by USDA found a 34% net energy gain,2 rising to 67% after accounting for co- product energy credits.3 The consensus is that dryland production of corn results in a net energy gain of 30-70%, depending on soil productivity, production practices, and distillation technologyâ€. Thanks for sending the link.
RC one is simply defending his livelihood. What business are you in. Read the following and let us know what you think?

If it were that good economically, it wouldn’t need a mandate.
The mandate was to reduce dependence on oil sold to the U.S. By our enemies that fund terrorism. What business are you in?
If ethanol is so wonderful, who needs a mandate? We seem to have a lot of untapped energy in the US. The biggest problem is the anti-American kenyan antichrist.
What does it matter what business I’m in? Your question sounds rather intrusive and demanding.

If you really wanted to know my “business” (which is none of yours), you could easily look through my old posts. I’ve been here 18 years.
