Ethanol Advocates Conduct Pre-Election Ad Campaign Blitz
In less than a week, the B&B will head out to the polls to decide the direction the United States will take for the next two years.
Big Ethanol, too, is interested in the direction taken.
AutoblogGreen reports Fuels America, an advocate for the fuel source, is conducting a major advertising campaign to persuade the Obama administration and the Environmental Protection Agency not to make cuts into the Renewable Fuels Standard, the mandate that makes E85, E10 and every other blend possible.
The blitz — which kicked-off last week — is being carried through Beltway media such as Politico, RollCall and WTOP-FM, and will continue until November 5.

Ethanol has no effect on our mideast policies and no meaningful impact on our "energy independence." There has been, however, a massive, government-mandated transfer of wealth from people who purchase food and fuel to agribusiness. The graft is so massive it has caused politicians from both parties to climb into bed together in a bipartisan orgy of greed. People who defend these policies are either financially connected to the theft and drizzling out arguments like corn syrup or they are the fools who are licking it up.
Looks like I came too late for the "discussion," which was probably a good thing, since I'm not good enough with facts, figures and sources to adequately defend my position. All I can really say is this: I'd like anyone to find me a more dependable source of _renewable_ energy that's here_and_now. Thank you to Pch101 and anyone who shares the same view for getting the facts straight.
