Use of “biofuels” is Doctrine and cannot be changed regardless of Reality.
Haven’t had my 1st cup of coffee yet, but why is this a “barf alert”?
Maybe a mild barf-flavored hiccup alert for the pointless Trump bashing, But the renewable fuels standard has caused more harm (to everyone else) than good (to farmers).
The most interesting part of the story was the pic where 89 Octane was called “Super Unleaded”
As far as the rest, the government created the whole issue and it ain’t gonna be easy to walk out of it with a House and others that would love to see the Farmers tank as a political weapon against President Trump....I say this with the statement about the tariffs being the problem as my proof that the author wants an unfair to America status quo to be reinstated as my “There’s your sign” moment.
E10 isn’t ruining older vehicles and equipment fast enough. They need to increase the alcohol.
-——Congress is not currently preparing to revisit the big picture——
Congress is currently doing nothing. The current Congress will not act to alter the status quo in any manner.
The Speaker of the House has lost her power and is no longer able to lead and direct.
Why the barf alert?
Ethanol in engines is a bad idea, with few upsides
The Corn Lobby is driving this nonsense
Why the barf alert? The op is correct that the corn gas mandate is insane.
Did I miss a memo? Are we supposed to love ethanol mandates now?
Zot, it’s hard to keep up!
Dunno what you've been smoking, but this is hardly barf alert material (unless you're one of the hogs who has both front trotters in the artificial market for corn trough.)
Don’t forget, it takes more input energy than the fuel output from ethanol , so it is good for the economy, and diesel does not use ethanol, so it is of no consequence to the oil supply side ( diesel). But, of course, corn as ethanol is not as important as corn for food ( corn sucks as a food source) so keeping the farmers land under the plow is more important than anything else- its not as if that land cannot be used for a viable food stock, like wheat, of course, but then wheat farmers subsidies would have to go up, as supply reduces prices.... Hmm...
Seems the world got convoluted on this equation huh?
.
Ethanol for fuel - bad
Butanol for fuel - good
I don’t like the ethanol mandates, but Trump campaigned on being pro-ethanol, so I don’t expect any serious reform while he is in office. In the grand scheme of things (barring a world-wide drought where we need to use our food for food), it is small potatoes.
If the farmers will pay for the repair/replacement of all our gummed up small engines and re-engine our beloved older vehicles then let them have what they want.
