Now let’s cut out the ethanol in gasoline requirements and sell them more corn. Or whatever farmers want to grow on that land.
Burning food has never made any sense.
The ethanol mandate is a perfect example of how politicized utopian, statist, central planning gets immediately gamed and taken over by a few connected special interests.
Its why when the Soviet Union collapsed, it was revealed there was an existing kleptocrat shadow economy of mobsters and bureaucrats, who then immediately came to the fore.
Same in the USA, just on a lesser scale.
Amen. Corn based ethanol is a boondoggle. Get rid of it.
My first thought....sell them corn...we can frack
Exactly, they knew that they screwed the American farmer with all their bad trade deals so they invented the ethanol program to make the rest of America pay for their lack of backbone.
Good idea.
