It should be noted that the EPA's banning of methanol is categorically absurd from the point of view of environmental protection.

Biofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good.

If we can produce more ethanol and bio-diesel to help fuel our vehicles we will create jobs boost local economies and produce cleaner burning fuels. This will keep dollars here at home where they can have a positive impact on our economy.

Ethanol is a premier high performance fuel. It has tremendous environmental benefits and is a key component to energy independence for our country.
