Disappointing...

I'm somewhat disappointed that the Democratic candidates have come out supporting the use of ethanol as a fuel additive, it seems they are doing this to get the farm vote. People should realize that there is no good way to distribute this product and that a few large agribusiness groups. While it may be a substitute for MBTE, when it pollutes it is much harder to clean up. What we need are higher fuel economy standards for all vehicles.
