The last I read was they wanted our gasoline watered down with ethanol by 75% by 2020.

I agree the prez probably can't do it, but he can twist enough arms to get it through it he wanted to.

Too bad people don't know what they are doing and how it harms us in the process. If you figure the cost of all the subsidies for ethanol, the price per gallon is more than gasoline. So we spend more for something than necessary? sugar prices went up, yeast got scarce, bread prices rose. Meat prices rose, because their feed is now making ethanol. Lots of big business is getting fat off the ethanol business, at our expense.

On the other hand, Brazil, with sugarcane can make ethanol cheaper than gas, which makes sense in their economy.
