Biden to allow higher-ethanol fuel sales in summer to check gas prices

[Harpy Eagle]

Even soybeans produce a lower crop yield without the proper application of fertilizer. Most livestock as well as chicken rely on corn and soybeans for feed, which means even higher meat prices next year.

Soybeans need almost no fertilizer and basically no nitrogen. Soybeans actually add nitrogen in the soil. This is why most people here in the midwest rotate corn/soy each year in their fields.

I think we will have much higher soy bean acres this year so they can follow them up with wheat to harvest next spring.

Also, I have not yet seen if the USDA will allow farmers to plant on CRP land this year without a consequence for doing so. From what I have read I think they will, but have not seen it in writing yet. If this happens we could see record acres in both corn and soy.

You say that about any choice that Biden makes.
I remember republicans saying that Katanji Brown Jackson was a bad choice, and she has a stellar record and got bi-partisan support.

This is highly incorrect. Most of Biden's decisions (or at least those ascribed to him) go totally without remark on my part. The choice of Biden has been often criticized, as has that of Trump and a number of other candidates.

That's what makes NASCAR great.

Irrelevant was misspelled.

Except I say I thing about Trump, you insert him and pretend I am who you want me to be.

it's what trolling snark dooshes do.

Meh, Tater is just trying to scratch dirt over that 8.5% inflation number that came out this morning.

But.....If you are that big of a rube then enjoy your corn gas.

Scratch dirt over it? He’s pointing out that 8.5% number is because the monopolies that sell you everything, are blatantly raping you for it.

I guess some people are just laying back enjoying the raping. So much for the socialism argument.

Are you naturally obtuse or do you work at it?

The world wonders.....

WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden will unveil plans on Tuesday to extend the availability of higher biofuels-blended gasoline during summer to curb soaring fuel costs and to cut reliance on foreign energy sources, senior administration officials said.

The move will allow Americans to keep buying E15, a gasoline that uses a 15% ethanol blend, from June 1 to Sept. 15. While E15 is only 10 cents cheaper on average and is less "energy dense," meaning drivers would need to buy more fuel, it should still help lower fuel expenses, they told reporters on a call previewing the announcement.

Drivers get less mileage out of E-15 but it's 10 cent less.....Only slag dems would think that that's a "savings".

To add insult to injury the world is facing a food shortage and we are going to burn yet more corn in our tanks?

Ya, that is the Tater admin for ya.

the price of corn is going to rise .

 

[Couchpotato]

You know that the corn going into the ethanol is not the same corn you eat at your Sunday BBQ, right?

You know that you can grow things to eat instead of corn to turn into inefficient gas in the same dirt right?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

You know that you can grow things to eat instead of corn to turn into inefficient gas in the same dirt right?

Sure, the same dirt. But not always the same equipment or the same amount off labor.

The draw of field corn/soy/wheat is that it huge amounts of it can be grown and harvested with minimal manpower.

Small farmers can do a few hundred acres of corn/soy/wheat all by themselves.

Operations up to a few thousand acres can be handled just family members with the right equipment

Sure, it's more labor intensive to plant and deal with 100 acres of tomatoes than it is fuel corn. That said if we are indeed looking at food shortages Im not sure it's a great idea to incentivize farmers to plant fuel corn over corn/insert food crop here. Once it's in the ground it will be too late to change our minds though.

I am with you on the incentivizing of farmers to grow more by the Govt.

But it is not as easy to change what you have been growing for generations on your land as you make it out to be.

A farmer paying off a million dollar combine is not going to suddenly start growing vegis instead of corn/soy beans

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Biden wants to make food shortages real.

True, but he might grow more corn/soybeans vs food crops if there is a larger market for them. I dont know what the profit margin on fuel corn vs tomatoes is for a farmer so I cant speak to whether this influences them or not. We are going have to grow more fuel corn if we are using more ethanol, of that I am certain. Whether that mean less potatoes or eating corn I do not know for sure. I kind of doubt the admin really knows either frankly.

Ethanol is destructive to the 4 stroke internal combustion engine.
That is why Pops Biden is doing it.Someone like a Buttigieg informed the WH
a good way of lessen the popularity of Gas engines.By internally making an
engine finicky.

Well since ethanol is made of corn, corn prices will soar just like when this shit gas was introduced

Wonder what Corn Pop the bad dude would say?

 

[Vrenn]

Don't know too much about cars - is 15% ethanol bad for engines?

Not really. But it lights better in a mix with Gasoline. Petroleum Fuels have a very high energy level while ethanol doesn't have as much. But under high power outputs, the Ethanol does increase the octane level so in a high-performance engine (high compression) it will increase the power.

But you can tune an engine to run strictly on Ethanol as long as you have a higher compression ratio.

 

[Sunsettommy]

Don't know too much about cars - is 15% ethanol bad for engines?

Yes, because it INCREASES city Ozone pollution emissions a health hazard, reduce mileage per gallon because of its much lower octane rating and reduces food supply generating higher food prices.

Biden about to speak in front of a couple tractors with piles of corn...
Christ, could the propaganda imagery get any more obvious and pathetic?
The podium is on bales of hay...
You know, cause he is just like the common man...

Hope he comes out in a flannel shirt and a John Deere hat to top off the shitshow.
