Obamas EPA has ruled that refiners can be forced to produce 15%
ethanol fuel. Of course, this will destroy many existing engines,
Just try to find ethanol free fuel. Even at marinas it is not often
available. Not only will this destroy engines, it will kill people
whose boat fuel systems leak due to the ethanol, another case of WTF
for Obama.

Just what we need turning food into fuel. If you think Egypt was about
democracy you are wrong it was about food prices.

Read up on cellulosic ethanol,

Unfortunately virtually all of the ethanol made here comes from corn.

Yes and something like 30 or 40% of the corn crop is now going into
ethanol production. This is basically a federal subsidy to the
mid-western farm states. A lot of analysis has shown that it takes
more energy to produce ethanol than it delivers on the highway. Yet
another example of big government mis-management and political
meddling.
