    Woah...could it be that we will stop handing out $6 Billion every year and make E10 and E85 compete on a level playing ground price-wise with our beloved gasoline?

    It's not a done deal yet but this is some really positive stuff coming out of DC for a change. At least I think so, but them again I don't get an Ethanol subsidy.

    They still have plenty of time to screw it up....

    Common sense is an extremely endangered species in DC.

    We can only hope that they will actually do the right thing and stop this money hemorrhaging.
