(CNSNews.com) - The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Friday it is investing up to $100 million in biofuels with the goal “to double the number of fuel pumps capable of supplying higher blends of renewable fuel to consumers, such as E15 and E85.”
“A typical gas pump can deliver fuel that contains a maximum 10% ethanol (E10), which limits the amount of renewable energy most consumers can purchase at the pump, despite the fact that our farmers now produce record amounts of renewable biofuels,” the USDA press release says.
“This new investment seeks to double the number of fuel pumps capable of supplying higher blends of renewable fuel to consumers, such as E15 and E85.”
The USDA announcement coincided with an EPA proposed rule change on Friday, which would reduce the amount of corn-based ethanol blended into the gasoline supply from what was originally planned under the 2007 federal law.
“Due to constraints in the fuel market to accommodate increasing volumes of ethanol, along with limits on the availability of non-ethanol renewable fuels, the volume targets specified by Congress in the Clean Air Act for 2014, 2015 and 2016 cannot be achieved,” the EPA proposal says.
Some automobiles and smaller engines can be damaged by the use of ethanol blends.
Greedy corn farmer-USDA Conspiracy Nanny State PING!
And increase CAFE standards at the same time. Technological illiterates.
Never about efficiency or the damage caused by this garbage.
Crony capitalism at work.
Corn is for eating; Ethanol is for drinking.
They should have shot Wickard and sent Filburn to Congress
Swift Fuels is developing and has for sale @ 3 airports in MI and IN a 94 MON no-lead no ethanol fuel for Gen-Av aircraft. I can’t wait until the expand the dealerships and maybe I can get a can or 2 for the lawnmower so it can run right. This ethanol sucks....
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
$100 million in subsidies to continue to displace an industry that raises many billions in revenue.
hhmmmmm
Science and economics are obviously subjects our gubmit dorks avoided in order to keep their GPAs above 1.0.
Never about efficiency or the damage caused by this garbage.
Because corn is used in ethanol production, it raises the price of corn and raises the price of beef, pork, and chicken.
**Some automobiles and smaller engines can be damaged by the use of ethanol blends.**
Tell the station attendants you do not want this gas.
Actually, they feed the spent beer-mash to livestock. It's said to be a better feed than the raw grain.
Recent high beef prices were related to the drought.
Cattle Prod SCOTUS until they get that mess straightened out. Boner and Ditch are useless.

It is less efficient. Besides, it takes more energy to produce a gallon than you can get back out of it.
the damage caused by this garbage.
There is no damage, if aluminum corrosion occurs it is probably from the absorbed water.
Crony capitalism at work.
Ding ding ding...there's the real issue. The ethanol industry would fold up like a cheap suitcase without federal subsidies.
Corrigan Oil in Brighton Mi sells E0 “RV” gas at their station. They also sell Sunoco Race Fuels in many flavors at their Whitmore Lake yard.
Iowa is the first primary state so who’s going to go against this corn gas crap.
