Let's keep it simple folks.
This was a sham from day one. Don't try to manicure the bullshit.
Please explain the 45 cent rise in gasoline when ethanol got a 45 cent tax hike.
Note the price spike in gasoline at the pump when taxes were raised on ethanol on December 31, 2011.
Me? Why?
I've followed this program from its infancy.
There is a singular purpose to this program- get that extra bushel of grain to market, and line the pockets of agriculture.
I like ya, Ms. My. But I have an intense disdain for the agriculture industry. They railroaded this bullshit based on shady science and lie after lie. Screw them and their cock-eyed schemes.
Rockefeller railroaded ethanol by paying congress to ban it with prohibition. Farmers can't force congress to do shit because we are less than 1% of the population & are not rich. The EPA found MTBE to be a threat to the public & mandated replacing it with ethanol. The farmer had nothing to do with that. We also had nothing to do with the "God Made A Farmer" Super-Bowel advertisement that you hate. That was all Dodge motor company.
