“The mandate has helped build a thriving industry in Iowa, now the No. 1 ethanol-producing state.”
Couldn’t they make the same money by exporting corn for food?
Of course they could. Ethanol as a motor fuel is a terrible idea. Besides, even if it weren't, Brazil can produce ethanol cheaper, faster, and better than we can. The subsidy is the only thing keeping the Iowa boys in business.
Ethanol fuel and Global Warming are on the same page in the Green Manual; both absolute, unmitigated, unvarnished un-scientific codswallop, claptrap, balderdash. This whole ethanol thing is an ADM PR stunt dreamed up on the shabby pretext of Brazil using Ethanol as a motor fuel. Now that Brazil is a major oil producer, that stopped!
Cruz ought to go to Iowa and kick both Jeb and Scott's shabby RINO butts.
