You can’t buy gas without ethanol in WI anymore. We’ve had this forced upon us for years. It takes more energy to make ethanol and deliver it, than the ethanol creates in energy- that is stupid! Ethanol is garbage. Bad for engines, lower mileage, and as a bonus, because it involves taking a food source (even as just a feed for livestock) and burning it for fuel,,,it makes groceries more expensive too. Lots of things in the grocery store have corn byproducts in them. Burning food, when there are gazillions of barrels of oil still undiscovered is stupid. Oh, wait the gov’t is not known for doing things that are smart. They do things that line the pockets of their friends with taxpayers money.
What are we to do with our mountains and mountains for surplus corn and other feedstuffs? Plow them under?
There are a lot of good reason to be against ethanol, the fact that it comes from feedstuffs isn't one of them.
See my tagline. It's been true for over fifty years.
