>>What to do?
Burn the corn fields, purge the aliens.
Ethanol laced gas ruins thousands of smaller engines and carbureted vehicles every year, incurring extra cost in repairs, increasing waste as engines and devices have to be replaced, and increasing cost to the consumer while offering little to no energy independence advantage or pollution decreases.
They can keep offering E85 as that is a choice freely available to new car buyers if they want it, but the mandated regular gasoline E10 blends gotta go.
> “... and solve the intractable issue”
Nitpicking the writer, one does not ‘solve’ an intractable problem, at best one ‘manages’ it.
Attempting to induce wourldwide famine to advance a Looney climate is pure evil.
Stop making fuel out of corn.
Kind of ironic that while it costs more to lace the gas with ethanol, non-ethanol gas is 15% more expensive at the pumps.
I am sick and tired of paying $10/lb for lunchmeat and pumping crappy gas to support Big Corn. Friken meddling by central planners screw us all, and enrich a few.
Term limits!!! COS.
This is such a simple one. Phase it out. The guv should never have been involved. It is a criminal waste of prime farmland, raises costs for everyone—including downstream farmers in meat and dairy, and chews up people’s cars.
Should find other ways to help farmers, such as helping them diversify so we are not so dependent on other countries for our food.
And what kind of story is this, not even mentioning ethanol until the 6th paragraph, and then in an offhand matter that suggests ethanol isn’t really central to what this is all about.
Who wrote their story, the Corn Farmers of America?
Oh, and every last bit of farm subsidy we provide should go to the likes of leafy green vegetables—not yet more wheat and corn!
Bad words: ethanol, bio fuels
Good words: bio fuel car destroyers
Keep a small shed in back storing cans of pure gasoline to un-ethanol your car tank. Ain’t socialism wonderful?
The crop and dairy farmers are heavily subsidized by you and I. They will always vote for the person that will continue to give them the pork. Meanwhile this cluster ruins every engine it gets poured in and increases our cost for food, including higher cost to the beef and hog farmer.
I would think that closures of refineries would be a national security issue?
