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.

"In the grand scheme of things (barring a world-wide drought where we need to use our food for food), it is small potatoes."

Perhaps, from where you live in Arizona, that may seem to be reasonable statement. But, for those of us who happen to live in rural America -- in areas that are blessed with far more vegetation than is your domicile State -- it is an absolute crock of Schiff!

Right this moment, the intrusive Bahia grass in my 2+acre lawn is waist high -- because ethanol has destroyed my multi-K$ "riding finish mower". And, it is about to join the trash heap of multiple chain saws, limb trimmers, "push" power mowers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, lawn trimmers, rotary tillers, motorcycle, ATV, bass boat engine, Jeep, pickup, and three other vehicles -- including my wife's favorite conversion van -- that were all destroyed by ethanol!

Fortunately, my tractor runs on Diesel -- because, today, I'm mounting the "Bush Hog" on it to knock down the Bahia grass and other uncut grass on the lawn so that we won't have to wade thru it all winter. (Hate to do that, because of the damage to the lawn that will be done by the aggressive tread on the tractor's tires.)

That may be "small potatoes" to you, but to a retiree, it is a big deal when yet another piece of equipment you need is beyond repair -- just to @$$-ki$$ greedy corporate corn farmers and thieving, imbecilic "Climate Chaaaange!!!) frauds!
