Corn Ethanol Is A Joke
a: Corn ethanol ~
b: baseball prospect who is a poor hitter but a bad fielder
What: "As public policy, ethanol is like the joke about the baseball prospect who is a poor hitter but a bad fielder. It doesn't reduce CO2 but it does cost more. Imagine how many subsidies the Beltway would throw at ethanol if the fuel actually had any benefits."
Yes indeed. Ethanol fuel mandate are possibly one of the worst idea in American History.

Corn Ethanol Is Like Making Nickels From Quarters
a: Corn ethanol ~
b: making nickels from quarters
What: "As it was explained to me quite eloquently one time, ethanol is like the govt. running out of nickels and saying, "we've got all these quarters.. lets start stamping nickels out of them." You have a product that has greater value in it's natural state and your gonna pay tons of money to manufacture it into a product of lesser value. "

Corn Ethanol 3 gallons gas=4 gallons EtOH
a: Corn Ethanol 3 gallons gas ~
b: 4 gallons EtOH
What: "Not to mention the overwhelming amount of water that it takes to produce. It has been said, the net effect of ethanol, is like using 3 gallons of gasoline to produce 4 gallons of ethanol. This is absolutely ridiculous and makes absolutely no sense!!"
