I appreciate the concern coming from California in regards to
reducing the amount of Carbon used in their fuels. Help me
understand how producing a carbon neutral fuel like ethanol can be
viewed as being bad for the environment. Compare regular unleaded
gasoline with an E 10 blend. Less carbon released into the air.
There is no direct correlation between midwest crops and
deforestation. Indirect maybe? What is comes down to is economics.
Supply and Demand. Farmers in a particular geographical area will
grow what is profitable for them to produce. Does it really come
down to carbon at all?
