Ethanol is nothing but a subsidy for farmers.

When you buy gasoline the government is forcing some of your money to go to farmers. So they can have some of your money. Because lobbyists and the Iowa Caucus.

quote:

President Donald Trump's White House asked Congress on Wednesday to pass a law allowing year-round sales of gasoline containing higher volumes of ethanol, reviving a long-sought priority of the biofuels industry.
While Trump has long backed year-round sales ?of gasoline blended with 15% ethanol, the decision marks the first formal push ?by his White House to enact the policy and signals a willingness ?to challenge U.S. refiners that have opposed the measure over concerns it could raise costs ?and complicate fuel distribution.


quote:

Legislation allowing year-round sales of E15 gasoline had narrowly cleared the House of Representatives earlier ?this year, handing a ?victory to ethanol producers ?and farm-state lawmakers who have pushed for the change for years.

Alright progressives figs, pay attention.

This will be yet another Trump stance that MAGA will disagree with.

You sound retarded with all this "MAGA cult" bullshite.

E10 to E15 sucks, but the alternative is open borders, chicks with dicks, DEI, more taxes, etc.

Agree. I do think the whole ethanol thing is goofy, but why the F does anyone need to give permission for ethanol gas is sold. I don't want any, but if someone else wants to buy it I say let em

It's a fuel oxygenator which replaced banned MTBE when 7%.

Almost all of the ethanol plants are each 51% owned by local farmers regardless of what the name says on the sign as operator.

Because of Iowa, as you've pointed out. Muh! I'd rather American "farmers" get subsidies ... blah blah.

It's ConAgra, not the person growing 4 acres of corn down the road from you, that gets that money.

fricking stupid. Very smart on Iowa's part, to find a way to make sure they're more important than they should be. All primaries should happen in the same week, for both parties. Just like elections should be decided, I don't know, within 48 hours of polls closing.

Sugar price floors were one of the first, which is why the US uses so much HFCS. Our prices are 110% of sugar prices around the globe. Do you agree with ending those too, even with the bitching you'll get from advocate groups?

I wish we would get rid of mandates for ethanol and subsidies.

I’m ok with it as an option. If it can be safely used in newer vehicles and ethanol blended fuels cheaper than non ethanol then wouldn’t the free market work at this point?

Need to use that corn to feed herds of cattle. Steak is too damn high.

Meat subsidies for the win!

Ethanol in gasoline started as a green scam. There is really no green in since the energy inputs are damn near the same as the energy outputs.

No more food in the gas tank.
