Algore’s fault.
I guess,
people have forgotten 4 buck gasolime
There is no controlling legal authority.
Tax breaks aside, mandates that require adding alcohol to gasoline engines are idiotic, no sane person would do it. Which is why Congress requires it. Making alcohol was going to be profitable as soon as Americans were required to add the gawdawful crap to the gas tanks.
....now that money is tight, it was a mistake....when things are good and taxes are low...what better way to reach into the pockets of “rich” Americans. Now the “rich” Americans want serious tax reform and are looking for scalps since the Gov. has spent our future....now ,now it was a mistake...
..wanna go over how much money was wasted for the last 15 years over the global warming BS?......AND WHO CAPITALIZED ON THE SCAM?
I wonder if Al Gore feels the same way now for pushing NAFTA back in the 1990’s?
For once Al Gore has something right. However his reasons are faulty. Ethanol from any source is always a bad choice as a fuel as it has so little energy per gallon compared with other fuels like gasoline. Just about any means you use to produce ethanol on a large scale takes more energy than will be generated from using it as a fuel. Government subsidies have perpetuated this poor energy policy.
“One of the reasons I(ALGORE) made that mistake is that I paid particular attention to the farmers in my home state of Tennessee, and I had certain fondness for the farmers in the state of Iowa because I was about to run for president.”
Let's summarize, shall we, exactly what ALGORE is essentially saying to us:
1. 'I am a pandering scumbag.'
2. 'The Farmers of Tennessee were to blame.' Interesting since ALGORE's home state was is still is DC.
3. 'I'll say or do anything while running for public office, don't you fools know that already'
Thank you, ALGORE! Thank you very much!

MOUNT VERNON, Ind. (AP) — A company is ramping up production at an ethanol plant in southwestern Indiana that is now operating after construction work was halted for more than a year.Pekin, Ill.-based Aventine Renewable Energy produced its first ethanol on Nov. 30 at the Mount Vernon plant, which it started building in late 2007.Company CEO Thomas Manuel tells the Evansville Courier & Press he knows there was skepticism that the 45-worker plant would ever open. Aventine stopped construction on the plant in late 2008 and didn’t resume until March 2010 after emerging from bankruptcy.The company expects to produce about 110 million gallons of ethanol a year from the plant at full capacity. Production is about 55 percent now and gradually increasing.___Information from: Evansville Courier & Press, http://www.courierpress.com
