That whole ethanol thing wasn't such a great idea
Uses 3 gallons of fossil fuels to make 1 gallon of ethanol.
Makes gas prices higher.
makes fuel economy worse. Bad for your engine.
1 out of every 4 bushels of US corn goes towards ethanol.
Terrible fricking idea.
We are currently trying to make a strong push to reduce the amount of ethanol produced each year, at least until this drought and grain shortage passes.
We are also pushing the USDA to hold imported Chinese catfish to the same standards as US farm raised catfish. They are allowed to use illegal antibiotics/chemicals while we are not. Testing of our fish is very strict, while it is lenient on theirs. It allows them to sell imported fish cheaper.
Russia recently banned imported chinese catfish b/c of people getting sick due to the illegal chemicals. China refused to change practices b/c then it would cost them too much to grow the fish.
It is not safe to eat, and it is killing our american industry.
So to all you people out there, make sure it's US farm raised catfish before you eat it

7 gallons of oil in each car tire therefore we have bigger problems than corn which also is associated with oil, ha.
