RecoveringFarmFag here. Ethanol sucks. Ask any small engine repair person. It eats the hell out of gas engine rubber components such as gas lines and is tough on engines overall. It is also a idiotic concept in and of itself. Turn fuel into fertilizer into food into fuel capturing maybe 10% of the BTUs than if you just burned the initial fuel. It also messes with food cost. As the demand and therefore price of corn goes up, so does the cost of wheat its only real viable substitute. American farms like so many other American industries need reform and not subsidies. Subsidies such as ethanol subsidies and subsidies to keep farm land fallow has made millionaires out of so called "farmers". While it is extremely to important to protect real American farmers, family farms and non "factory" farms and especially their skill set which is dying out, THIS IS NOT THE WAY. This is more swamp

Industry propaganda. All industry is capable of standing on it's own with out subsidy if it is allowed a free market to operate in. Ethanol is no different than Solyndra
