Talk about incompetence. Our very own government has said ethanol was a mistake and yet in typical fashion they now want to increase the amount. Follow the money and see where it leads.
actually part of the law bush signed after being pushed to do so by the democrap led senate and congress, mandates E20 and higher. I don't remember the actual final % been awhile since I read it.
got to make a reason for people to buy new vehicles to keep the auto manufacturers and their over paid union votes happy.
https://mises.org/library/war-clunkersIn truth, clunker laws are not about improving the quality of the air. They are about giving huge government subsidies to big industrial polluters—coal-burning utility companies mostly—in the guise of a "free-market" solution to air pollution.
As usual, the problem originates in Washington. Federal mandates stemming from the ill-conceived 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require states to meet an arbitrarily set air quality standard. Otherwise, they face losing funding for highway construction and maintenance.
The portion of the Act that specifically threatens old automobiles is the provision mandating reductions in mobile sources. That's bureaucratic cant for car and truck emissions at levels to be set by the Environmental Protection Agency in "non-attainment areas." Non-attainment areas are parts of the country—cities mostly—which do not meet the standards set forth in the act.
Since old cars, derisively referred to as clunkers, are highly visible and easily portrayed as mobile bilge barges, they are an attractive target for state governments seeking to find ways to meet the federal government's requirements.
