Farmers & Ethanol Plants are not subsidized.
Bullshit.
Only the Oil Companies get the tax break for blending ethanol with their gasoline & selling it in their pumps.
Fine. end it.
We export Ethanol & DDGs with no subsidy or tax breaks because it does not get blended here by the oil companies or sold at their pumps.
We shouldn't be wasting our time on failed products like this.
Farmers do not own gas stations so the oil company tax credit got them to sell it to their customers.
really? this is how we're going to misinterpret what I said?
Ethanol plants are working on plans to start their own fuel stations to sell their product in the USA.
But till then continue to sell to oil companies and other gas station firms that DO.
In a few short years that tax credit will no longer be needed for the oil companies to sell it for them.
Horsecrap. The product is not viable to compete with petroleum and has worse side effects, plus is being created to prevent a crisis that doesn't exist. So a bad product for a non-crisis that costs ultimately more money for worse performance.
yeah, real winner.
They will be in competition with them. Competition will mean lower prices for everyone.
The same way Apples compete with Oranges on the supermarket shelf. They may both be fruits, but neither one helps the other's market... or does much to hurt it.
