EPA is raising ethanol from 10% to 15% in the gas due to the war

E-15 has been around for a few years. It's just not that common at a lot of gas stations. This isn't some scam to force you to use it. They are just approving use of it nationwide and giving people another option. It's generally not used in summer due to a higher volatility. The problem will lie in whether or not stations either replace the E-10 with it or give you the choice. Most aren't going to have the extra tank space.

Taxpayer funded USDA corn subsidies. Great more Fucked up car parts.
Alcohol produces much more carbon emissions than regular gas.

Wrong.

You can thank your fucked up democrat rulers for that shit dumbass.

i dont pay any attention to E15

all my cars run just the same and just installed a new carb on the 70 that is E15 compliant. so no floats and seals to rot out

Based on recent data, it is not accurate to say that Democrats provide significantly more or fewer farm subsidies than Republicans in total, as both parties generally support large agricultural aid packages. While the political rhetoric differs—with Republicans often emphasizing deregulation and Democrats focusing on sustainability—both parties have supported substantial direct federal payments to farmers.

Equal Spending in Practice: A Politico analysis found that over the first three years of their respective presidencies, the Biden administration (Democrat) and the Trump administration (Republican) authorized nearly identical amounts of direct federal payments to farmers, at roughly $57 billion each.
Targeting Differences: Democrats often advocate for targeting subsidies toward smaller farms, diversified operations, and specialty crops (fruits and vegetables), whereas conventional commodity programs (corn, soy, wheat) often benefit larger, corporate agribusinesses that tend to be favored by Republican policies.
Recent Trends: Farm subsidies increased significantly under the Trump administration (2018-2020) due to trade aid, and these elevated levels continued under the Biden administration, as highlighted in reporting from the Environmental Working Group.
Long-Term Trends: Republicans often represent rural areas with high concentrations of farmers and are seen as the party favoring fewer restrictions on subsidies, while Democrats are more likely to push for environmental reforms or stricter income caps for recipients.

Ultimately, both parties have proven willing to deliver massive financial support to the agricultural sector when needed, with the largest shares historically going to the largest farming operations

Ethanol is a construct of the EPA and is pushed by environmentalists. Who are overwhelmingly democrats.

Ethanol in US gasoline was primarily implemented through federal legislation, specifically the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) introduced in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, signed by President George W. Bush.

Not that simple.


The first is E10 (10% ethanol fuel), which has replaced nearly all pure gasoline (E0) sold in the United States today (U.S. Energy Information Administration 2016. This was brought about through generations of policies that were motivated by multiple factors related to engine performance, energy security, health, air quality, and climate protection. Ethanol’s high octane has been a consistent driver of the fuel because this enables higher-performance engines. Early policies (1973−1979) were largely motivated by the desire to reduce dependence on petroleum sourced from members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. Fuel policy in the 1980s was largely in pursuit of promoting octane-number enhancers that could replace lead. Criteria pollutant reduction was the overarching goal of actions taken from 1990 to 2005. From 2005 to the present, fuel policy has been largely motivated by energy security and climate protection goals. These policies were usually technology-agnostic and promoted multiple fuels and additives during each period. However, ethanol is the only fuel identified that is cost-effective, with qualities that enabled it to prosper in the policy environments of all four of these periods.

I think JD sits up in his electric truck snorting round up herbicide all day while his crew does all the work.

Haha! I don't have an electric truck yet. But the Silverado EV is looking pretty sweet .

Honestly, life was easier when all I did was physical work. Now I'm meeting with clients, doing estimates and invoicing, ordering materials and plants, and basically organizing all the time. It's tiring in a different way.

And no, we don't use RoundUp except in very rare cases of highly invasive trees that can't be killed any other way.

And we are off today for Easter Monday! Come on man! I pay my crew for Stat Holidays bro

His "clients" in TX watch over his shoulder as he posts here all day and night. He's just a coward cunt who will get his ass kicked eventually but I bet he keeps quiet in person like a good little faggot.

 

[Robostyle]

Must not have many "clients" unless they are all members here.
