Biofuel Industry Won't Meet Government Production Targets After All

The Government should get out of the "king making" business as there track record would indicate. Creating "winners" is a joke. If the government had pushed for the telephone industry with mandates, subsidies and tax breaks back in the 1930's we'd still be turning a crank to make a phone call.

Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil

GM 's sudden stewardship of the environment is simply a way to continue to make gas guzzlers thanks to E85 an extremely inefficient fuel. The CAFE standards call for all car companies to achieve an average MPG for all vehicles. I believe the most recent number is 27 MPG. Well if you make the biggest money off of 10 miles per gallon SUV's you would hate to say good bye to them wouldn't you?
The CAFE standards has a loophole, that being that an E85 vehicle operating on E85 miles per gallon are ONLY figured against the actual amount of gasoline in the blend (15%) if you divide 100% fuel by 15% gasoline you get the multiplier to the mpg (666) therefore a gas guzzling 10 MPG SUV is given credit for 66.6 MPG. If you sell one SUV like this you can have 5 vehicles only achieving 20 MPG and this gas guzzling SUV and you average more than 27 MPG overall while not one of their vehicles really met the standard.
GM is not the only one taking advantage of this free ride Ford and Chrysler are too. The big three are heading down the toilet and this is just their hands clinging to the rim.

Is the Ethanol Mandate Likely to be Repealed?

Anytime the government is involed with the business world the business world will suffer. If the government back in the 1920's wanted to ensure the growth and expansion of the telephone we would still be turning a crank to get the operator on our telephone. Government employees are the worst of the worst and their "helping hand" simply retards business growth.

Ethanol Is Oversold: Three Bounce Stocks - Barron's

How can these biofools be s stupid? If you take a finite supply (Corn/soy/wheat) and try to satisfty an infinite demand (fuel) you will see prices through the roof.
