i am a republican but with the gas prices it is hard not to want the progress of ethanol feul. the gov. right now does not want ethanol to compete with the gas prices. if we buy ethanol fuel from outsource contries we usualy get it from the carribian. due to the carribian trade agreement there is not a tariff tax on that ethanol. on allmost all other countries there are two tariff taxes equaling somewhere around 102%. at that rate we cannot buy enough ethanol to make a differance. it is true that 30% of our corn is used for ethanol could be more. corn is also used for many other thing other than food or ethanol like animalfeed, plastics, oils, whiskey, and maybe lessthan 40% is used as food. but on the other hand after corn has been broken to make ethanol the left over corn, which is the byproduct, is only missing the starch and still contains all the nutrients to make fine animal feed.some south american countries depend mainly of ethanol and produce enough to sell to us but who is going to pay that tariff tax. one of those tariff taxes is a protective tariff tax to protect the livelyhood of our corn farmers, but what about all the rumers about the US gov. paying farmers not to grow crops. republican or democrat we all need to push for ethanol feul. this is the truth. if you researched it as well as i did you well see that there is not a draw back from producing ethanol fuel. please take this to heart and don't flagg this. i am not trying to support a certain party or to knock down any bodys word.
