by Michel Smith (Veshengro) It would appear that, in some way, the reason that everyone was getting all angry about ethanol in 2008 was all for the wrong reason. But, this year, a Congressional Budget Office report has concluded that only a small percentage of the increase in food prices was due to ethanol. But that doesn't mean we should all jump back on the ethanol bandwagon. The study says that ethanol production required about 861 billion gallons of water. MORE

Drought, extreme weather, and other factors combine to increase corn prices, and one of those factors is the federal ethanol mandate/renewable fuels requirement implemented over 20 years ago (as an oxygenate requirement) and extended in 2005.

Which aren't ending: On the ethanol subsidy, critics wanted to eliminate, as of July 1, the 45-cent-per-gallon tax credit offered to refiners for using the corn-based fuel at an estimated cost of nearly $6 billion a year.

by Michael Smith (Veshengro) Ethanol saves oil and reduces pollution, or so we are being told. Ethanol, one of the so-called biofuels, the other is biodiesel, is produced, primarily, especially in the USA, from corn (maize), with biodiesel, mainly, being made from palm oil.
