The problem is, the urbanites know nothing about agriculture or converting solar energy into portable fuel. They do however, believe everything the oil industry puts out.
They also confuse the RFS which requires renewable fuel to be blended into the transportation fuel mix with some kind of fictional “mandated use”. There is no regulation on consumption, if you don’t like ethanol, just go to www.pure-gas.org and find a station near you that sells gasoline without any ethanol. Driving thru western Virgina a while back they seemed to be on every corner!
The RFS does not mandate anything to consumers. Everyone is free to purchase bio or petro fuels as they wish.
