Conservative Views For The Grassroots: Senate Passes Ethanol Tax ...

This is a travesty. Since the MSM failed to report the news, the Senate just approved extending Ethanol subsidizes to the American farmer. An Ethanol tax break is a scam against the American tax payer. Ethanol subsidizes are only making the farmers rich. There are many facts that are not advantageous using Ethanol. Ethanol retains water, and it creates a water problem in the fuel tank and fuel line. Ethanol is known to dissolve plastic and other solid materials. Ethanol will dissolve varnish, rust on steel, and corrosion on aluminum tanks, which will contaminate the fuel. Also, ethanol has been known to dissolve components in the fuel system. Ethanol is a good paint stripper. As it breaks off gum and resin deposited by years of gasoline sitting around in tanks, it turns into sticky goo. This will plug filters, ruin carburetors and fuel injectors, and may cause complete engine shutdown. Besides, Ethanol gets poor gas mileage. Typically, it is more expensive than gasoline, and it is not cost effective. Since Ethanol produces less energy than petroleum gasoline when burned, gas mileage is reduced by 25 percent. The process to make Ethanol is an energy-intensive process that often uses water, electricity generated from coal, another source of greenhouse emissions. Also, it is necessary to add petroleum gasoline to make Ethanol non-drinkable. Overall, Ethanol will not lessen our dependence on foreign oil. (Nacsonline) WASHINGTON – Republican Sen.

However, the Senate approved a bill that kept the ethanol tax breaks but 34 Republican senators voted against the measure, the Washington Post reports. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), would have eliminated the yearly tax credits given to ethanol blenders.
