The Ethanol Papers - Paperturn manuscript - Flipbook - Page 524
"Federal biofuel mandates have failed to accomplish their stated objectives while forcing consumers to pay higher prices for food and fuel, a
new American Action Forum (AAF) report concludes."
NEW? A new report? The "higher prices for food and fuel" drivel is at least a
decade old and has been roundly and soundly refuted, including recantations
by The World Bank, the group that started the lies about food price increases
happening because of ethanol production. (I cover all this, and so much more,
in my 60+ page rebuttal to Robert Bryce's garbage book GUSHER OF LIES.
Then Mr. Rossetti puts together cockamamie numbers that supposedly show
that there are some ancillary issues that make ethanol look bad. But it's all BS.
He says there has been a wealth transfer from consumers to farmers. Hey
schmuck, you should be happy that American farmers have a profitable crop to
grow. And guess what? American farmers are AMERICANS. This is far better
than the wealth transfer from consumers to dictators and terrorist regimes on
the other side of the world.
In any event, ethanol cost less than gasoline or diesel. Ethanol-gasoline blends
save consumers money.
And to the people who publish TheNewAmerican website: There is nothing patriotic about pushing deadly petroleum oil fuels, especially the fuels made from
crude oil imported from other countries. You are traitors, not patriots.

comments. But I can't find any information or an email for him. As if he doesn't exist.
