Another Obama bust. How many energy boondoggles before even the left wakes up to the destruction caused by government control of the economy? These boondoggles are just escalating instead of stopping. Corn-based ethanol levels have been increased to 15 percent. Bio fuel mandates still loom in the near future.

Yup.
This is the money quote IMO:
“That cost will make it difficult for the Leaf, which is priced at $33,000, to turn a profit. And it also may make the Leaf a tough sell, since even with federal tax breaks of $7,500, the car will cost about twice the $13,520 starting price of the similar-size Nissan Versa hatchback.”

We have budgets deficits of $1.3 Trillion per year, and 0bama still has tax payer money to squander to the tune of $7500 per electric car, that some idiot in Hollywood decides to buy, so they can look cute to their pals? This 0bama regime is just nuts.

I have this trusty 22 year old Toro 2-stroke snowblower that has run perfect for the way i’ve learned to use it over all those years.

The thing was built “just” powerful enough for most of the snowstorms i get around here in MA.
Now i got this 10% crap cutting into the power of my Toro and now i can now exect 5% more here soon? (This is MA ya know)
ARGH!!!!
Too bad there wasn’t some simple process to remove the stuff.
Hmmmmm, I wonder....

You may say 22 years??!!!?, Buy a new one!!
I can’t, I’ve grown sentimental over those years...

Corn-based ethanol levels have been increased to 15 percent.

And the price of corn is going through the roof!
