Corn is for cows, not cars !
About time. One of the biggest scams in D.C., and it ruins small engines.
Finally some common sense rears it’s head!...................
Regrettably I don’t see it happening. You might as well give Iowa away to the democrat presidential nominee.
agribusiness welfare!!
Any small engine mechanic will tell you the ethanol damages the engines.
All ethanol derived from corn shall henceforth be stored in white oak barrels which, having been scorched in the inside, are to be kept sealed for a minimum of 18 months or 2 summer seasons which ever is the longer time.
Yes!
Steve Hilton spoke about this boondoggle last week———a real wakeup call for me.

Just do it.
Butanol is a much better fuel. It can be made from non food plants and the non eatable portions of food crops. It also has a better btu content is hydrophobic.
Corn is FOOD,
NOT “Fuel”!
Ethanol reduces gas mileage such that “pollutants per mile”remains unchanged.
Ethanol is more expensive to produce and we have plenty of petro.
Prediction: Trump will put us on a path to wean us from ethanol in 2018, perhaps to zero requirement by 2024. This gives the farmers time to adjust and puts that much money back in the economy where it can expand.
Ping.
Ethanol made from feed corn is still and always will be a scam implemented under the fallacy to dampen US dependence on foreign oil and to cut carbon emissions from fburning fossil fuels. Scientific fact; it requires more British Thermal Units (BTU) derived from fossil fuels to make a unite of ethanol than the BTUs produced by the ethanol. ConAgra, ADM, Monsanto et al and those in the DC swamp who are owned by these companies are all laughing all the way to the bank and at the American consumers expense. The corn based ethanol program needs to end.
All my small engines say thank you
Here in Alaska I’m stuck using ethanol-free gasoline.
The process of converting corn (food) into fuel is foolish. A 25-gallon tank of ethanol requires 450 pounds of corn to produce. This equates to roughly the calories required to feed a person for a year. It takes more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than the gallon of ethanol provides. In a free market economy ethanol would not be blended with gasoline.
Also draining the Ogallala Aquifer in areas added for corn cultivation to support ethanol.

Get the booze out of the tank!

Folks,
Ethanol has a role, it has it’s pros and cons.
The problem is the one size fits all of centralized government or socialism as we know it. The problem is not ethanol............................
