IMHO this entire ethanol program is just a prime example of the special interest mentality that is so prevalent in this country; give me my special deal and soak everyone else for it.  Then when someone else asks for a special deal, speak out vehemently against it.  I wonder how many beneficiaries of the ethanol boondoggle were violently opposed to loaning money to the Detroit automakers for instance.   At least there was and is a good chance the taxpayer's will see all that money returned (with interest).  I don't see any return for the taxpayer's from the ethanol BS.

I think most people have to agree that this is a special interest program gone wild and should have never been started.  But hard to stop these once they get a toe-hold in the washington politics.  You vote for mine & I'll vote for yours and look where it's gotten us........busted.  No other way to put it.  spyder

that's yet to come  ;)

Our goverment just tried to force us to use "E 10" (10 % Ethanol). But people just don't buy it - we got a so called "e 10 crisis" because of this since March. As of today "e 10" just doesn't sell  ;D

No Soldiers were killed producing gasoline either! They were killed protecting the totality of our way of life, which does include burning gasoline in our cars and scoots. From an engineering point of view ethanol makes absolutely no sense. It is inefficient, destructive and does not save a dime. I agree that corn should be eaten or converted to moonshine for human consumption, not for burning in internal combustion engines (excpt Indy cars). JMHO.
