Oil is at almost $4, higher grocery prices, bread revolutions everywhere and this is good?

[mewykwistmas]

make that gasoline...

If ethanol was so damned good, the free market would prove it.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

He said ethanol has been used as a scapegoat by food manufacturers to raise food prices, and that oil companies also have been trying to reduce ethanol production for their own business interests.

What crap. In addition, it costs the taxpayers because it has to be subsidized. Congress should not be picking the winners and losers. The market should do that.

Looks like he’s been drinking more than his fair share of ethanol.

[Cicero]

Put him on the list of people who need to be replaced.

[Foolsgold]

Didn't I read that produce waste could and does make for a better alternative?

[diverteach]

If ethanol is so great then why did I have to rebuild the carbs on 2 different generators this last week and 2 carbs off my sandrail the week before?

I’m ready to start filing lawsuits against that crap they are calling gasoline these days.

And guess what? It’s gonna get alot worse when the recently EPA approved %15 hits the market.

What really kills me is the governments push for higher fuel mileage vehicles and then turn around and approve ethanol gasoline that causes worse gas mileage.

Freakin idiots....every last one of them!

The corn farmers can count on Smokin’ Grassley for a vote-buying handout.

[Da Coyote]

Grassley’s *ss is grass.

So is his brain.

And so goes our liberal “leaders”.

[FromLori]

Ethanol wrecks mower, blower engines maybe he looks at that as a way to create jobs. (sarc)

[dalereed]

He can go to hell!!!

Ethanol if crap fuel!!!

[Outlaw Woman]

IIRC, appx 60% of the corn supply is now directed toward ethanol production. Sounds like a really good thing doesn’t it? /heavy s

[BerryDingle]

Algore disagrees

[bmwcyle]

Grassley needs to stop taking us for fools.

[taxcontrol]

Ethanol bad,
Butanol good

[tennmountainman]

Grassley needs to go, go, go.

[4buttons]

Iowa=farmers=corn=ethanol=a payday

basically another allotment situation for growers ala the FDR administration.

If I was a farmer, I’d love it, too.

This is what happens when the government decides to control a resource.

[bray]

Use the subsidies to drill for more oil and do away w/that Carter era boondoggle.

Pray for America

[Batrachian]

For those who don't like adulterated gasoline, look up pure-gas.org. I can't vouch for their accuracy.

I should point out that, apart from reduced range and compatibility problems with some motors, there is nothing inherently wrong with ethanol as a motor fuel, except for the fact that you have to burn a lot of petroleum to produce it and it's not very sensible economically without government subsidies. But then, we subsidize welfare mothers to have more babies, so I don't see what anyone is complaining about.

Anyway, if you don't like paying your hard-earned tax dollars to multi-billion dollar companies like Archer Daniels Midland, then you're just selfish and narrow minded. Get over it.
