Title: U.S. Congress Introduces Bill to Prohibit E15 Sales
Post by: EDNY on March 16, 2017, 07:09:15 AM

Rec'd this from the SEMA Action Network

Legislation (HR 1315) has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to prohibit the sale of E15 (gasoline that is 15% ethanol), capping the amount of ethanol that can be blended into conventional gasoline at 10%.  The bill also eliminates the Renewable Fuel Standard’s (RFS) mandate that requires 15 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol be blended into the U.S. fuel supply each year.  Ethanol, especially in higher concentrations such as E15, can cause damage to older vehicles.

You can bet the Corn Belt will fight it. It's been a scam all along. Corn is for eating and drinking. Why waste all that alcohol on killing old cars?   

Meanwhile the Nevada legislature is about to block all fracking in the state pretty much ending oil exploration in the state that has some very large untapped resources. Nevada has become California lite because of Las Vegas and illegal voting.
