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.

Wise words for the LGB administration.

Corn ethanol requires almost as much hydrocarbon energy for tillage, fertilizer, cultivation, pesticides, harvest, transportation, fermenting, distillation, and transportation as it contains when it arrives at the refinery for blending.

It’s basically a process for turning crude oil and natural gas into ethanol.

Sugar ethanol from Brazil is a little more efficient.

Oh, it’s very well thought out.

Deep State isn’t stupid.

Just its front men.
