Still clinging to their lack of guns and religion of the whacko´s. Using 1 gallon of petroleum fuel to make 1 gallon of reduced energy alchol which also includes a bushel of food stock is ludicrous. Although it was not EPA´s stupid edict that created this fiasco, congress is to blame for that.
While we endure increased food and energy prices, the government and it´s agencies continue a pathway to destruction. Will we soon arrive at food emergencies?

Around here apples are $2.00/lb and higher, recently out of season. The only folks who can afford to eat are the folks on Food Stamps.

And the current Speak of the House HAS NOT directed his folks to defund the EPA. Sad, so very sad....

So because of our "silly laws", we have to use a fuel that is less efficient and so you have to buy more of it, costs more, and starves people!

I sent this to my Congressman. I would suggest everyone else sending something similar.

The EPA is not permitting Texas to reduce the wasteful ethanol rules, so defund them. Cut their budget in half. You will not be able to pass a law limiting the EPA´s authority due to the Senate and Obama, so do what the House is constitutionally mandated to do; cut the purse strings.

Also, it is a foregone conclusion that Boehner will cave into whatever the democrats want with the "fiscal cliff" taxes. Please do whatever you can to minimize his cave-in. Too bad the House could not elect a real Speaker (such as yourself) that would protect the citizens against an intrusive, increasingly socialistic government.

EPA, a true enemy of the USA.

Like it or not, the United States feeds a very large portion of the world from our abundance. Four years ago, when Zippy issued an executive order requiring an increase in ethenol in our automotive fuel production, it caused a world wide famine, effecting Africa the worst. We no longer had an excess of corn because we were burning it in gasoline. We didn´t need to, but Zippy insisted on implementing his idiological energy program. He won´t allow drilling and he won´t allow the Keystone pipeline. He doesn´t give a rats rear end about the poor at home or in Africa. He only uses them in sound bites to shill his Marxist policies to a fawning media. And the GOP has blinders on. They won´t even bother to let the public know the facts about this debackle. Bohenor will just roll over like he always does.

#7. You are assuming that Obama does not want famine throughout the 3rd world. He might actually welcome it since it produced his Arab Spring.

The EPA, along with the Salazar´s Interior Department, and others, is being purposely destructive to our economy, as part of Obama´s desire to minimize America´s strength in the world.

The refiners need to tell the EPA to stuff it, or PAY high fees to implment and support! I certainly WOULD NOT absorb the costs!

Problem is all environmental groups and politicians are on the take from energy producers.
Some of them are for the money and power (russkis and cheves) some are for money and Islam, it makes no difference.
Like KGB was funding communists around the world now Saudis are funding Islamist and enviro groups.
Rest of the western world are idiots building useless windmills and even more idiotic solar panels.
