Green Is Now Shoved Up Your Ass

We now know that the cabal actually running the country is determined to ruin your energy supplies, electric, nat gas, and petroleum.

And while they're at it, they'll ruin your small engines AND your fuel economy.

Last Friday the Biden administration raised the mandatory amount of biofuel, specifically ethanol, that must be blended within the U.S. gasoline supply.  The previous amount of 10% was raised to 15% by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  This is likely to lead to two sets of bigger issues, less food and higher gas prices....

  ...Approximately 40 percent of corn grown in the U.S. is used for ethanol.  Raising the amount of ethanol required in gasoline will result in the need for more biofuel (corn).  With farming costs and outputs already under pressure this could be problematic....

And the second problem?

  ...The EPA enforces the biofuel standard by requiring refineries to submit purchase credits (known as Renewable Identification Numbers, or RINs) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proving the purchases.  This enforcement requirement sets up a system where the RIN credits are bought and sold by small refineries who do not have the infrastructure to do the blending process....

  ...now that the biofuel requirements for blended gasoline have gone from 10% to 15%, the price of the RIN credits will likely jump.  This will cost refineries billions in additional expenses,…. which will mean the cost of the gasoline from the refineries will increase,….. which will mean the cost of the gasoline at the pump will go higher....

Then there's this:

  ...“Ethanol ...cannot be used in concentrations above 10 percent in small engines — like outboard boat motors, motorcycles, lawnmowers, generators or chain saws — or in any cars made before 2001. Complicating matters further, most cars on the road today still aren’t warrantied to run on gasoline with more than 10 percent ethanol....

And although Sundance doesn't mention it, you will get slightly less fuel economy.

So:  Corn costs will rise.  Gasoline costs will rise even more.  Small refineries may as well go out of business, leaving the field to what will be an extremely powerful oligopoly.  Small engines?  Throw 'em out.  Your engine warranty?  Fuggedaboutit.
