More State Money Into the Rathole of "Biofuels"?

I think the phrase is "Stuck on Stupid."

Rep. Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford is trying to ram through more "biofuel" spending, funded by State taxpayers.

It's because he's smarter than everyone else, I guess:

“I don’t buy the argument that because this might fail we should not look into it,” he said. “Everything in this country is dependent on this economy, but we’re seeing increasing demand for green energy and a growing demand for hybrid vehicles.

“I think investing in biofuels is a risk worth taking instead of simply buying it from other states.”

If he thinks 'it's a risk worth taking,' then he should play with his OWN money.

Suder ignores reality--not uncommon in Madistan.

More state money will do little to fix a biofuels market littered with stalled plans and shuttered windows, according to a former biodiesel company president who gave up on the industry.

“The folks that invested in our company took a big hit,” said Mike Robinson, who, as president of Sun Prairie-based North Prairie Productions LLC, killed plans for an estimated $46 million biodiesel plant in Evansville last year. “A lot of people would be reluctant to invest again, and a lot of people are kind of reluctant right now anyway.”

Resistance to biodiesel is based on the fact that diesel-engine manufacturers will NOT cover warranties on engines run with 'alternative fuels.'

Suder is not the only stupidified leggie.

“Renewable fuels are not going away,” said state Sen. Pat Kreitlow, D-Chippewa Falls, the co-chairman of the legislative committee with Suder. “The Legislature would do well to be a champion of homegrown fuels.”

What the State really needs is to piss away another $umpty-million dollars in "risks" while the Zoo Interchange is in virtual collapse and businesses are moving out as fast as they can.

Just brilliant.
