And there are a number of problems with an immediate boost in the ethanol blend.
Automakers warn the higher ethanol blend could boost greenhouse gas emissions, damage engines or disable vehicles.
In Baltimore, nearly a third of the city's patrol cars stopped running earlier this month because a station had boosted the amount of ethanol in the fuel. It isn't clear how much ethanol was in the mix...
Congress is demanding that we use ethanol, but the people in the know say it's going to be almost impossible to meet the demands set by congress without screwing up everyones gasoline engine.
Guess that would be considered a tree huggers wet dream.
But it's just not vehicles that one should be worried about, it's anything that uses gas. Like lawnmowers, snowmobiles, motorcycles, etc.
No testing has been done on vehicles with such a high mixture of ethanol in gas, that needs to be done before congress can allow this to pass. Testing will take a couple years to complete.
And of course the Obama Administration, who claimed they don't want to run auto companies sure has a funny way of not really running them.
Go here and RTWT. Or don't, if stupidity in Congress pisses you off.
And of COURSE, poor, Nobel Hopey doesn't WANT to run the car companies. But I can pretty much guarantee that there won't be a refining company left in business in the US in 5 years if the high ethanol fuel is mandated by Congress without testing and does tear up engines wholesale.
His butthole buddies the trial lawyers will make short work of 'em.
Imagine the US without the internal combustion engine....
