Lesko Brandon goes to Iowa to announce he is rescinding his reversal of Trump's year-round ethanol order. Previously, Biden's administration said too much pollution was the issue when he reversed Trump's order.

Now, with oil and corn prices soaring, and higher refinery costs to produce ethanol, LGB campaigns in Iowa with today's news. Putin's fault.

I only use corn-free gasoline.

Well Joe diverting corn into the transportation fuel sector away from people food and animal feed to produce people food will look real silly when folks are starving to death due to the likely food shortages.

Note US Winter wheat production is down. Droughts around the world. Russia is on of the largest suppliers of fertilizer used in food production. California has a huge water problem and water for irrigation will be cut back. China and major south American countries are having crop problems.

But hey, let's just let folks starve. Joe's constituency will not try to push foreign aid and famine relief assistance to other countries.

When the food inflation/shortage emergency overtakes the gas price emergency, what will be the whack a mole response to get more corn on the market?

I’m guessing all that ethanol will come from corn fields NOT planted because the cost of fertilizer has tripled. Since ethanol contains about one-third less energy than gasoline, you get fewer miles per fill-up and have to buy more frequently.

This doesn’t seem to be well thought out.

“...but the order was overturned last year by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit”

Let’s see if the same US Court of Appeals has the balls the halt the order. Oh, I know, this time is different because it is an “emergency”. Nevermind that the emergency was self-induced on purpose. This is how the rats operate. Create an emergency and then claim not to let it go to waste.

Lesko Brandon should also ban the sale of “winter blend” gasoline in states or areas that require that by federal edict.

That stuff is responsible for a 10% reduction in mileage.

Aren’t we headed for a HUGE famine where corn will be necessary to prevent starvation?

Thank you, democrats.

I am not helping a single one of you. I hope you suffer the most.

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.

Democrats can’t seem to figure out that producing Ethanol, by taking vital resources needed for growing food is a bad idea.
