good points.
ethanol is insane on sooo many levels.
i like Thune, but his math is plain wrong.
they say ethanol reduces our foreign dependence.
but, in the entire (Pop Deming) process,
it takes MORE than a gallon of gas, to make a gallon of ethanol, which produces less btu’s than the original gallon of gas.
so, NET,
it INCREASES our foreign dependence,
and INCREASES the price of oil.
...and costs taxpayers over 6 billion a year, on top!
I’ll say it again: using food for fuel is immoral and is the most obvious example of what is wrong with our government.
Your logic leads to one inescapable conclusion:
Ethanol belongs in a beer can, not a gas tank. I think I have a new tag line.
