How can our legislature find time for "Right to Work" legislation, be so slow to enact meaningful non-smoking legislation and even have a member consider introducing legislation to regulate how the National Anthem is sung, and yet put off consideration of something that adversely affects the citizens they supposedly represent? This Republican controlled government continues to amaze me with their disdain for the needs of the people.
glad to know we can push RTW, but the health of a basic need is tossed aside.....
I'm glad to hear ethanol is still a competitor in the energy sector. For some reason it seems to have taken a lot of bad press lately.
I still think it is a terrific idea, the breadbasket of the world (USA) growing its own energy. Henry Ford originally planned cars to run on alcohol.
Just because it was said to compete with food some have suggested it is a bad idea. I don't agree. There are many other sources for ethanol besides corn, and I haven't seen proof that we do not have enough tillable land to grow both, food and energy.
I hope we continue research in distilling of other sources for ethanol. We have a rich history of successful agriculture in America and growing our energy from the sun is a great sustainable idea.
