The by-product of cleaner air in 3 states(NY,MA,CA) primarily it was also a way to get midwest farmers off corporate welfare and subsidies, which Republicans hated. Liberals know it works only where there is $5/gal gas but don't care they wanted to split with the Arabs after 9/11 anyway. And so it goes; politics continues to make strange bedfellows and we get $4 lb. hamburger.

The idea was you harvested your grass or whatever you had lying in around in your fields not making any money, and you turn it into gasoline extender. It was a good idea in Brazil, where they could make it from sugar cane. It didn't work out that way here, for what I suspect are some good and not-so-good reasons.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641923323486284057.post-83951195700987237582009-04-06T18:38:00.000-07:002009-04-06T18:38:00.000-07:00Ethanol my aching ass.

Not long ago you could still see the plants the farmers built to make ethanol from sugar beets out in Eastern Washington. I was really (truly!) surprised they fell for it again! But then again they voted for The Bush Crew twice!Mr. Naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09570665867798768948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641923323486284057.post-79439649383464353072009-04-06T17:20:00.001-07:002009-04-06T17:20:00.001-07:00the whole flexfuel thing was driven by Gm and show...the whole flexfuel thing was driven by Gm and shows their power.
