There’s more ethanol headaches ahead for boaters Forget logic, reason, or intentions when it comes to ethanol. It’s now a product in the hands of politicians and lobbyists. The farmers grow and sell the corn. Investors are putting up ethanol plants everywhere the corn is being grown. Ethanol production is subsidized by a tax credit of 51 cents per gallon (tax dollars) so that it can compete in price with straight gasoline. There’s money to be made here, if only the government can be seduced into requiring or allowing more and more ethanol to be blended into the gasoline being pumped at the corner station. |
