Washington CNN — President Joe Biden on Tuesday will announce new steps his administration is taking to address rising gasoline prices across the country, including emergency measures to expand biofuel sales...
[Snip]
The President is slated to announce that the Environmental Protection Agency will issue an emergency waiver permitting year-round sales of E15 gasoline, which contains a 15% ethanol blend, on a trip to Menlo, Iowa, where he’ll visit POET Bioprocessing, a biofuels plant that specializes in the creation of bioethanol.

The sale of E15 gasoline is usually prohibited from June to mid-September because of air quality concerns. Under former President Donald Trump, the EPA issued an order allowing permanent year-round sales of the biofuel blend in 2019, but the order was overturned last year by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
Biden’s announcement, a senior administration official said, “is distinct from” his predecessor’s efforts to expand ethanol sales in that it’s “based on the current circumstance, which is a fuel supply emergency.”

these people are insane ... gonna burn up more food instead of pumping more fossil fuels... food essentially produced from fossil fuels to start with ... food prices gonna soar even more ... won’t help fuel prices one bit ...
E15 will destroy engines not built for it.
This will kill off the older vehicles. any the replacements will be...electric
I quit using corn in my gas tank about three years ago. Car runs great, and much better gas mileage!
Me too. This is another way to get those pesky internal combustion engines off the road…let’s just destroy them with fake fuel…
Interesting theory about Iowa announcement and Grassley. Let’s see whether Grassley backs down. Popcorn time...but corn is getting so very expensive...
Now that the liberal media is predicting worldwide food shortages, resident Biden is advocating wasting even more corn by burning more corn derived ethanol in our automobiles.
Oh, it’s very well thought out.
Deep State isn’t stupid.
Just its front men.
Bottom line: Deep State doesn’t want us driving.
Well so far Satan's diaper wearing puppet has given us plague courtesy of his big money backers in China, a proxy war in Ukraine, and 24/7 gloom and doom(darkness)--all that's left is famine for the end of days to be upon us.
So throw more socialism at the problem? Push ethanol to destroy those nasty combustion driven vehicles? Weak sauce, brandon - FJB!
Follow the money...
Never let a good crisis go to waste. 15% ethanol increases pollution, damages ICE, contributes to higher refinery costs and burns food for fuel. What’s not to like?
“I believe this stuff destroys your engine. Kinda like Oatmeal with Cinnamon and aresenic.”
I wonder about that also. Maybe a way to force people into electric cars, or at least force them into cities where they won’t need cars.
Nothing Biden does...
Amen sister!
Democrats can’t seem to figure out that producing Ethanol, by taking vital resources needed for growing food is a bad idea.
Expect an ear of corn will easily surpass $1 in the coming months. We’ll be “happy” when $1/ear is the sale price for July 4 cookouts.
Darn. I can drive at lrast 50 percent further on summer blend. Yes. More expensive.
I called it.. weeks ago saying you aint seen high gas prices til summer blend..
Like magic, no summer blend.. problem solved. That eould have bern close to 6.50 in some places.
The environment matters less than politics. Who would have guessed.
Biden....... Pretending to be relevant after destroying the country
