Ethanol [View all]
OK- so I'll just come out and say it. I'm an ethanol supporter.
Not a supporter of the major corporations that are now running the huge ethanol plants- but rather a supporter of the small farmers who grow the input products, and a supporter of the fueling station small businesses who are selling it.
Because to me, gasoline represents death.
You see, I'm a U.S. Army retiree, and to me, every time I see an oil tanker, I can't get out of my mind the 22 fellow soldiers of my local National Guard unit- the 1462nd Transportation Company-- who were wounded in their year tour in Iraq.
They were wounded by small arms or IED's while hauling petroleum, for the most part.
So for me, every single gallon of gasoline comes at a price I do not want to pay.
Give me ethanol, and that will satisfy my needs.
I don't want to hear about false studies saying ethanol takes more energy to produce that it gives (that's wrong.)

I just want the USA to use LESS oil. Period. Whatever it takes to use LESS oil.
So my friends won't keep getting killed.
