This makes too much sense for the EPA. Something eviMl must be at play.
Mandated ethanol for fuel was and remains a terrible idea. Try explaining to a six year old that the government mandate has farmers growing food for fuel, increasing the price of food, when we have more than enough natural resources at better pricing.
Any other entity we would appauld this as a sound fiscal and consumers friendly proposal...
But like you said, this is the EPA and only beholden to the executive branch...since Nixon created it by an EO...
Someone evil is afoot...
Probably a shiny distraction...
