Ethanol responsible for 15 percent of Iowa's greenhouse gases

There is so much wrong with ethanol as a fuel source, it's hard for me to know where to begin. Let's see...ethanol is expensive once you figure in massive federal subsidies, it has driven up the costs of all kinds of foods, leading to food shortages and riots...and what else? Oh, it adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Ethanol is the biggest fraud since Milli Vanilli.

From the Say Anything Blog:

Another victory for ethanol the subsidized, mandated and so-called "green fuel of the future" for the last three decades.

The Des Moines Register reported the other day that Iowa's ethanol plants contribute 15 Percent — 7.6 million metric tons out of a total of 52 million metric tons — of greenhouse-gas emissions found in the state's new inventory of major manufacturers, businesses and power plants.

And guess what industry is looking for a bailout?

And guess which presidential candidate loves ethanol? I'll give you a hint...a lot of corn is grown in his state.

Twelve days to Election Day.
