[Super Orange Fit]

How are politicians getting away w/ pitching this BS...?
The downside to E85 (i.e. the things that are not in the newspapers) outweigh the upside. We will never be able to grow enough corn (or BS switch-grass) to meet our demands.
OK... so let's listen to our corrupt politicians (who are bought and paid for by massive corporations) and switch to E85. We will drive up the price for so many things that you would rather be paying $10 gallon for gasoline.
Grow corn, lots of corn... Feed costs (chickens, pigs and cattle) go up... meat costs go up. Corn, wheat, beans, etc. go up because it will be more profitable to grow corn, so less of everything else will be grown (meaning less grains and vegatables = higher prices).
E85 is being pushed (hard) by politicians. Do you think there's some money to be made here by corporations? Why else would they be pushing so hard. Don't say it's for the enviroment or to help our local economies. It's about $$$, it's ALWAYS about the $$$.
Why, when there are innovative ideas from our Universities, our Gov't. doesn't jump in w/ both feet I don't know?
Why can't we develop technology,.. battery, H2, solar, etc. to help solve these prolems?
Not to offend the hard working farm families who may see a sort term benefit from the new cash crop, but E85 will not help this country. Why are oil companies allowed to monopolize the supply chain and dictate prices? Why are they allowed to jack prices any time there is a refinery issue or a need to go to different "blends"? Why are they allowed to rape the consumer w/ huge price jumps & extraordinary profits and not pay their fair share of taxes. These windfall profits should be taxed at a higher rate (like my bonus checks - 40-45%) and the additional funds should be directed to the universities to work on alternate approaches.
Do some research. Look @ the big picture. Burning fuels to power our vehicles is not sustainable. Wait till the Chinese and Indian populations all start driving cars...
1 planet. 1 atmosphere.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick of hearing about the wonders of E85.
If we are pushed to E85, we will see a recession w/i a few years.
People (most) can find ways to not drive.
People (all) can not find a way to not eat.
