Good article....just depressing.
The congress critters don’t give a rat’s arse if people in third world countries are starving. They think they are saving the friggin planet, and you know, those votes in Iowa are really important to them.
They just had to throw that in there didn't they. Like it makes a difference who's side he's on...it's the truth and as usual the environazi’s are incapable of recognizing the facts!
I love Governor Perry.
My leftist In-Laws hate his guts but he’s a great guv. He’s created a business-friendly environment in the state and the economy is growing by leaps and bounds down here.
And this article simply shows how sensible he is. Too bad the federal bureaucrats don’t share his ability to reason.
A inefficient fuel substitute, puts food supply in competition with energy supply, 1 gallon of ethanol requires over 2000 gallons of water to produce; what’s not to like about Gore juice?
Rock on, Governor Perry. Fight them long and hard and you will be President soon.
And THAT will be a good thing.
America needs someone who will take a strong stand on energy and cut the crap...
Drill, build nuclear, build wind, cut the corn nonsense out...
Let’s be a tax more accurate here:
Texas feedlot operators and packing plants are fed up with ethanol.
Count ‘em up:

The only one who should be turning corn into alcohol is J. W. Dant.
(Houston) TEXAS PING
Really the relationship isn’t direct. The corn being siphoned off for fuel would be that which is used indirectly (feed, processed products for other foodstuffs). Right now feed costs are putting some livestock producers out of business or at least looking for lower cost alternatives. That said the BIG killer in this equation is fuel and its common to all of the price rises.
If the claims are true that ethanol reduces mileage by 5-10%, the 5 cents extra i pay for their gas is a steal in comparison.
Americas biggest problem ->> FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Excellent post. Thanks !
Barring an early frost or cooling, this years report of a very abundant corn crop should cause a drop in the price of corn. Also a number of ethanol plants had to close because they could not afford to make ethanol with the high price of corn.
Just further evidence that this government and by extension, this administration doesn’t give a rats arse about the peons they think they rule or anyone else other than their rich (and getting richer) fat cat crony buddies in their crimes against the working class (poor people). Come election time this will be one of the criteria I use to allocate my votes, i.e. if any of my elected congressional critters support or supported this atrocity I will vote for the other guy regardless of party and not feel the least bit of guilt about it.
About damn time we stopped the madness...
