Ethanol is being pushed still as a solution to Oil dependence. Ever since the 1980's. But is it useful? Or should the question be Why is the Corn Lobby so powerful? Or Why is the EPA being a bully when some parts of the consumer market does not want it?
I hear that right now we have a Corn shortage. We are losing good growing area to over development. (like Oxnard CA) AND mostly because it takes so much work (and Diesel) to produce the crop that makes so little fuel. Especially when compared to the amount of fuel it takes to create that fuel. Gallon to Gallon it gives back very little.
Unless you are part of that company that wants all the jobs and subsidies. And that is all they are selling. Give us more subsidies. Force by law that they must buy my product. Even if it is unsound to produce the product and use it in this way.
Good Fuel for my boat is key. If they put corn ethanol into the gas it will damage my Cummins engine injectors according to a metal expert from the company that makes the parts in the engine. Was very interesting cocktail party conversation. He was quoting tolerances of the steel in the various parts. If they force us to use E-15 fuels...
Then I'll be a person who can be enjoined as a party to this law suit.
