In many places, it has become very difficult to get ethanol free fuels to operate boat motors and ethanol in boat fuels has caused major problems and even destroyed many boat motors. Fuel explosions have even occurred on boats due to the ethanol dissolving fuel lines. It has been known for a long time that making ethanol from corn is an energy sink, it takes more energy to produce the ethanol than energy saved. Even worse, it drive up the cost of food and causes vehicles to be less fuel efficient. Why did it take a Republican house to finally do what anybody with more than two neurons could see needed to be done? CONGRESS FINALLY DID SOMETHING RIGHT. I guess enough good republicans and a good brain day. Not all repulicans are good, some are fleabaggers. But on a good day fleabaggers don't vote. You fellows don't seem to get anything right. The votes in question were in the Senate, not the House, and is opposed by most teabagger Republicans. -- Want to discuss recreational boating and fishing in a forum where personal insults are not allowed? http://groups.google.com/group/rec-boating-fishing- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - ~~ SNERK ~~ These Dopers are a laugh a minute.
