I hate ethanol!
It links food prices to energy prices and it just plain sucks.
My yard machines have been in the shop for going on 3 weeks, gunked up with ethanol
I put stabil in them.
How is ethanol good?

The desired result was a gov't mandated market for corn. The cover story was that it would reduce gas prices by increasing the supply. The "unexpected" result was a market distortion that produced higher food prices.

—as I have bored posters with in the past, as I spend some time in corn country during both the planting and the harvesting of corn, I have awaited in vain for any evidence that growers of corn are converting from diesel to ethanol in any of the pertinent equipment-—

Finally, in regards to energy security, the authors claim that the benefits of ethanol policy are largely elusory. Wouldn't that be "illusory"?

PING for www.pure-gas.org ...
cash fer clunkers was a small part of the plan to rid us of evil old-school gas engines......
ethanol is destroying a LOT of engines/fuel systems, especially small 2 strokes and seasonal usage/lawn garden equipment...
and the irony of increasing the ethanol content, while it decreases MPG, is that the EPA gets a twofer on their ever increasing CAFE mandates...
i shrugged off the fact that i cant get pure gas locally, but i cant afford to replace power tools every couple yrs, so i may have to find an aviation fuel supplier at least for those small engines...but hey, if *sales* of new cars and power equipment looks good on paper for the economists, i guess its ok...NOT...!!!
death by a thousand cuts is currently at about 933 on gilbos scale, and counting...
