re: New study (confirming a 2008 study): Ethanol is worse for the environment than gas

The renewable fuel standard is up for review next year. It looks like this is an attempt by the USDA to get the requirement struck down because it's stupid (the EPA knows and has known this), and focus more on advanced biofuels (which it should have in the first place). Ethanol was Obama pandering to leftist lobbyists at the expense of the world. It is his version of the disaster that was MTBE.

Nah dude, you can thank George Bush No. 2 and the Republicans for ethanol fuel additives. It was part of the Bush Energy Act from 2007. The EPA advised that it wasn't a great idea but Bush didn't listen.

WASHINGTON ? Legislation that will slowly but fundamentally change the cars Americans drive, the fuel they burn, the way they light their homes and the price they pay for food was signed by President Bush Wednesday after having been adopted by the House on Tuesday by a large margin.
“Today, we make a major step with the Energy Independence and Security Act,” the president said after signing the bill at the Department of Energy. “We make a major step toward reducing our dependence on oil, confronting global climate change, expanding production of renewable fuels and giving future generations a nation that is stronger, cleaner and more secure.
The bill, which passed on a bipartisan vote of 314 to 100, sets higher fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks by law for the first time in 32 years and requires the production of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022, a nearly fivefold increase from current ethanol production levels.

Hey, what’s that sticker on gas pumps that says it’s good gas? I’ve been looking for them. Cannot remember what they say. Noticed on Shell and Exxon. Basically says something like clean fuel

It's almost like there's two types of Democrats, the fricking idiots and the corrupt pieces of shite. And a lot of times they run simultaneously in our dear leaders.
