First Efforts to Repeal Biofuel Boondoggle
Posted by Dave Blount at May 6, 2008 8:48 PM
Just last Christmas, Congress passed another bill ramming more ethanol down our throats. But already some pols are trying to reduce the new requirements in light of the skyrocketing food prices that unsurprisingly resulted from forcing us to give our food to our cars.
Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) is going to introduce a bill to abandon last year's ethanol bill. Unfortunately, it has no chance of passing:
House Democratic leaders have given no indication of retreating from the ethanol requirement.
Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) is regrettably chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The reason he opposes lightening up on new ethanol requirements is priceless: it could "lead to unintended consequences."
Too bad clowns like Dingleberry didn't think of unintended consequences before they started imposing biofuels in the first place.
When people get hungry enough, the boondoggle will end. Similarly, gas will eventually become so expensive that the restrictions on drilling that have been imposed to appease envirowackos will be lifted. It might take a large mob of villagers closing in on Capitol Hill with torches ablaze, but it will happen.
On that joyous day, environmental mania will be over. If only we could just end it now, before the unnecessary hardship becomes extreme.
On a tip from mega.
