And it will never happen with a Republican Congress. Rest assured Midcarolina that it won't happen. It is Obama's budget not the congressional budget. But it sure would help get more competition in the fuel market. You know that is why oil and gas are so much lower now. An oil war going on between the US and Saudi Arabia. Overproduction at its finest. Now when this oil war is over in about 6 months and gas prices go back above $4 a gallon, Look up the price of E85. You might not hate Ethanol so bad then. I saw E85 priced in Minnesota at $2.75 when regular E10 priced at $3.95. Sounds like a great idea to take that choice away doesn't it? I am a conservative but conservatives have got this one wrong. We should be embracing all types of energy (not bumbling up in Solar like has just happened). There is a way to do it. We should diversify sources of fuel and different feedstocks. This will make fuel cheaper for the long haul. Or, we can just keep giving a huge amount of our living to the 4 big oil companies who can turn the spigot down anytime they want to and be slaves to the Saudi royal family who are battling with us now for control of the world oil market.CF
