Is this country so turned upside down now that Feinstein is actually doing something that makes sense? Is this bizarro day?

[Uncle Miltie]

Wow! This would be one of the most productive things Congress has done in Decades!

[thackney]

Did ADM forget to send Feinstein the monthly campain contributions?

[Mr. Lucky]

It would make sense if there were no government price supports for program commodities. The market price of corm has been higher than the support levels for the past few year; if the price decreases, the taxpayer will again be stuck for the deficiency payments.

What the Senator is essentially doing is shifting the subsidy from the bio-fuel industry to the feedlot industry.

[Graewoulf]

Hard to reconcile, but Feinstein is not stupid like Pelosi, even though Feinstein is dumb enough to stay in the Senate as a Democrat.

BTW, to produce one barrel of Ethanol requires the consumption of more than one barrel of refined fossil fuel, usually Diesel.

[edcoil]

Didn’t Di-Fi vote for it to put in the mandate?

[redgolum]

I strongly support requiring a shift to low-carbon advanced biofuel, including biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol and other revolutionary fuels.

Hmm.. I worked in ethanol, and it has a place. But I wonder why she is saying this? Biodiesel is ok, but CE is a hard sell.

[TexasCajun]

No Food For Fuel !

[Red Badger]

Get the damn alcohol out of the gasoline. That, in and of itself would raise the gas mileage of automobiles..................

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Wow. Feinstein is actually doing something that is sensible, rather than “sensible in comparison to Boxer or Pelosi”.

I am scanning the skies for flying swine as we speak...

[glorgau]

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day/

[BfloGuy]

I'm very pleased to see this, but...

Feinstein said the bill supports development of advanced biofuels, including those from made from soybean oil, grasses and trees.

Any substance which is subsidized by the government will become a cash crop to the detriment of the unsubsidized. It might seem harmless to subsidize fuel made from grass, but that would likely lead to farmers replacing corn with grass.

No biofuel subsidies at all, please.

[Lady Jag]

Hurray! Excessive growing of corn is driving us into another Dust Bowl, not to mention the fact that corn destroys motors. Get ride of ethanol and grow corn to feed people.

[backwoods-engineer]

Emperor Zero will never sign. Burning food crops is an important part of the Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy the American economy.

[The Antiyuppie]

Feinstein.

Just
Freakin’
WOW.

I thought that this was some kind of fantasy or satire blog link.

[bestintxas]

Subsidy=rob then pay your favorites = nonAmerican

[VerySadAmerican]

I’m getting old and not quite as sharp as I used to be. And I never was that sharp to begin with. But isn’t all legislation supposed to start in the house?

[American Constitutionalist]

* U.S. Senators introduce bill to eliminate corn ethanol mandate * and the E.P.A. enforced special blends that go with it ?

[American Constitutionalist]

I think the safe thing to do now is let her be once she has come to her senses.
