The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Ethanol as a fuel for internal combustion engines was an idea put forth by Henry Ford, with the introduction of the Model-T Ford, the everyman vehicle that brought powered transportation to the family farm. Home brewed and distilled moonshine could serve as fuel, making the family farm still fully self-sufficient, much as growing hay and oats kept the horses fed.
And old T’s ran perfectly well on ethanol, or at least as perfectly well as they ever could.
in a major policy reversal, Carson .. no longer supports subsidies for any industry, including U.S. ethanol producers

Say bye bye to Iowa Dr. Ben.
Mandates are subsidies. Paid every time a taxpayer stops to fill up.
Ethanol is terrible for your car, truck or whatever. Corn was made for eating.
I don’t think his first name is “Doctor”.
Let’s see that birth certificate. Did he get good grades in school?
Why does he defy the Constitution (article 1 section 9) which
states that we shall grant no titles yet he calls himself by one?
WHY!
Ethanol has killed more small engines than cash for clunkers.
It makes zero economic sense.
I guess that is why the EPA likes it.
The whole idea of making fuel from Corn etc is ridiculous, but few are able to come out and say it and expect to win Iowa.
Subsidies should absolutely end, in fact if they ended nobody would even make ethanol, with exception of specialty fuels imho.
The corn should be for food, you cant grow enough corn on the earth to make the amount of fuel that we need
I all for ethanol, just not mixed with gasoline.
I’m all for ethanol, just not mixed with gasoline.

Absolutely the worst crap you could put in a gas tank. The majority of politicians (in both our countries) must have voted for it.
Fuel ethanol didn’t start out as a do-gooder program. Because of peak-oil theory and the Arab oil embargoes of the ‘70s, it was thought to be a national security matter.
The oxygenate and ‘green’ promotion didn’t come until the ‘90s, IIRC.
Thankfully I can fill my boat up with ethanol free gas and get extra for storage and my generators.
Wow, was just reading this thread here in Illinois and saw back-to-back ads against ethanol and one for it. Been awhile.
Dr Ben Nyquil just lost Iowa, the gasahol loving state.
Get that crap out of our fuel.
If you search a little I found you can find some independent gas stations that sell ethonal free gas.
Anyone storing gas needs to store ethanol free, it will rmain a quality fuel longer.
