E15 By the end of summer?

[ridgerunner]

E15 Well E10 was such a good idea, WHY NOT? I don't GAF if it reduced greenhouse gas emissions, or it reduces the dependency on foreign oil. If it were to eliminate our dependency of foreign oil, maybe. But even then I can't get behind the EPA boondoggle/Pro-Ethanol/rhetoric. Let it sink or swim on its own WITHOUT SUBSIDY..

F*** Ethanol

[obrien]

I still don't see how it reduces our need for foreign oil.
It costs more to make, it increases our food prices, it cost farmers more money to feed their animals, and the fuel economy in all our vehicles goes down. It eats the fuel systems in our boats, and probably older cars as well.

I think its funny how they find it a benefit for the price of corn to go up in value, but never mind that it hurts the end consumers.

Mirage I agree completely with your statement

Nothing like paying 9 bucks a bag for deer corn.

If you think E-15 is bad, and it is, wait until you see the plans for your guns, land, house, and those that they allow to live. If you don't have food and medicine, you ain't around long. Get all these SOB's out of office before you see the Blue Helmets. And have you seen the United States Land Use Map? You won't be living where you are now if they win. This is for all the marbles boys and girls.

It isn't going to happen this year. The House has already voted it down. There are more articles on the vote than you can shake a stick at.

Report: House votes 'overwhelmingly' to block E15 fuelby Zach Bowman (http://www.screamandfly.com/bloggers/zach-bowman/) (RSS feed (http://www.screamandfly.com/bloggers/zach-bowman/rss.xml)) on Feb 22nd 2011 at 9:27AM



The Detroit News, the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to block the Environmental Protection Agency (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/environmental protection agency) from moving toward a higher blend of ethanol (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ethanol) in America's gasoline. Representatives voted 286-135 against allowing the EPA to issue a waiver that would allow gas stations to sell E15 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/e15). Currently, fueling stations are only allowed to sell E10, which contains up to 10 percent of the biofuel. The new legislation would allow a 50-percent increase in the amount of ethanol sold in each gallon of gasoline. Representative John Sullivan (R-Oklahoma) attached an amendment to the bill to provide funding for the U.S. government through September, effectively killing the legislation.

While The Renewable Fuels Association criticized the decision to stop the E15 waiver, several groups were thoroughly against the increase in ethanol. Those include everyone from the Specialty Equipment Market Association to the American Bakers Association.

The EPA has already approved E15 for vehicles made after 2001, but some groups worry that a higher blend across the board could wind up corroding older engines. Meanwhile, proponents of the increase claim that larger ethanol quantities will help lower America's dependence on foreign oil.
