The United States produced more ethanol than ever, we just exported it. We added 10% ethanol to most of the gasoline sold in the US, and had a large surplus that was economically viable as exports. By the way, that exported ethanol is not and never was eligible for subsidies or tax breaks like the VEETC, those only applied to ethanol blended with gasoline for domestic markets. Geez, guys...do your home work at the EIA, and read the papers once in a while. James, you're a fool and obviously shilling for Big Oil or the Arabs. Without the RFA, we'd be importing billions of gallons of more imported oil. The answer isn't increased drilling; that oil isn't going anywhere, keeping it in the ground is a conservative move to curb the rapacious diet of gas hogs like yourself.

Now all that needs to be done is to eliminate the Renewable Fuel Standard, and we’ll be good to go.

If an industry needs subsidies to survive, it means only one thing – the industry is not actually needed – or it would be able to survive on it’s own merits.
