The drought might kill the ethanol scam. I dont expect the tens of thousands of parasites who benefit from this offshoot of environmental crapola to give up their spot at the public trough easily, but at least the bloom is off the rose, or off the corn if you want to annoy environmental freakazoids:
Irrespective of what happens to ethanol a new generation of solar and wind parasites closing in on the tax tub far outnumber the ethanol freeloaders, and thats not counting the MILLIONS of parasites lining up behind the Affordable Care Act. Hussein will be gone come January 2013, but like Jed Babbin says the ethanol subsidy is the last thing the EPA will surrender. The only way to end all of the environmental scams is to shutdown the EPA.
Right now, the government subsidizes everything that cant stand on its own in addition to creating industries that will never walk without a government crutch. Ethanol is the least profitable subsidy of all because it is so corrosive it must be shipped overland rather than moving it through cost-efficient pipelines. Think how many additional parasites grabbed seats at the public trough thanks to the corrosion factor?
I must say that ethanol would be good thing if the government pushed ethanol for fuel in every country except the US. Brazil already refines huge quantities of ethanol from sugar cane. More ethanol in foreign countries leaves more petroleum available for our use without drilling for new supplies. Serendipitously, ethanol used everywhere except here lowers the price of crude for Americans while it punishes ethanol economies.
Finally, recoverable is the least used word in fossil fuel debates. There is so much KNOWN petroleum in the ground the world will never run out. The amount remaining in the ground in known oil fields is about the same as the number of barrels that were recovered to date. Depleted simply means it is too expensive to recover. By the time economically feasible reserves are depleted centuries down the road the profit motive will have figured out how to recover the petroleum remaining in played-out oil fields.
Solving the recoverable problem is what industry should be working on instead of paying for seats for wind and solar parasites at the public trough. Dont expect Husseins parasites to do it like they do everything else. Thats one problem parasites do not want solved. Let an individual solve the problem and Hussein will play hell taking credit:
