Consumers have suffered enough from tight fuel supplies and soaring prices at the pump, while the petroleum industry continues to reap record corporate profits. |
Ethanol needs to be part of the goal that helps reduce our major dependence of foreign oil. We've never said that ethanol would be the only alternative ... it's just the most viable alternative we have in the United States today. |
Every single automobile on the road today is ethanol-capable. All vehicles can operate on a 10 percent blend of ethanol with gasoline, and Flexible Fuel Vehicles can use E85, an alternative fuel containing 85 percent ethanol. |
I work about four minutes a year. The rest of the time I'm trying to have as good a time as possible. |
I'm just a little frustrated, |
In the face of pornographic profits being made by oil companies and the reality of higher gas prices this year, it is outrageous for an executive for big oil to actually suggest getting rid of the tax credit for ethanol. |
Ohio is going to become a major player here in ethanol very soon. |
Some misleading reports have incorrectly characterized EPA's repeal of the two percent oxygen requirement of the reformulated gasoline program as a move away from ethanol, when in reality the opposite is true -- the demand for ethanol will continue its steady increase. Using ethanol in reformulated gasoline was extraordinarily successful in helping reduce harmful tailpipe emissions around the United States. |
That left me scratching my head too, that's something we wouldn't advocate at all. To grant a waiver at this time would be a setback for the marketplace. If indeed that would occur it would be very disappointing. |
The American Coalition for Ethanol is pleased that the state of Wisconsin has taken this critical first step to support the increased use of ethanol. The state has developed a strong local ethanol industry, and ensuring that much of that Wisconsin-made ethanol is used in Wisconsin is one way to secure its continued success and to make the state less dependent upon outside sources of energy. |
The growth has really been with the farmer-owned plants, but we're going to see some non-farmer entities get back into it big. |
The U.S. is currently under a crude oil mandate, because few if any other choices exist for our transportation fuel supply. Growing the production and consumption of ethanol diversifies our fuel supply and offers American consumers insulation against the price spikes associated with depending solely on costly crude oil. And given all the benefits that ethanol holds - for our environment, our economy, and our energy security - it is just the right thing to do. |
There are rules to the (business) game, just like a successful offense in our game. |
There's been some rumblings. Let's just say that. People were scratching their heads and asking, 'Did the President really say that. |
