E15 will destroy all but (surprise) the flex-fuel vehicles made by GM.
Gee, I wonder why they’re pushing this.
Ethanol is a proven loser as a consumer vehicle fuel. We need to just stop this foolishness.
some SOB at the EPA owes me a weed eater!.
as God is my witness I will make it right!
less mileage, costs more... whats not to love???Ethanol mandates have the effect of forcing fuel blenders to pay whatever it takes to secure enough ethanol for the fuels they sell. The pass-through means that other users of grains used for bio-fuels (mainly corn) have to bid against this elephant in the marketplace.
Further, it means that the price of corn is tied to the various benchmark prices for oil. The tie-in being the value of the energy therein. Since corn is traded on open markets worldwide and is fungible, the price of corn to an Egyptian peasant will only go higher.
Congress, the enviros and the farmers who push and support ethanol mandates are doing the world economy grievous harm. They each have their own reasons, but the enviros are the ones who make me sick due to their sanctimonious attitude and about how much the claim to care for humanity.
Is there any chance at all that someone will ask Obama an ethanol related question during the presidential debates? Or will we only get questions about Romney’s tax returns and gay marriage?
