Yesterday the Washington Examiner<\/a> posted an article yesterday about a change in the United States<\/a> renewable fuel<\/a> policy.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

But the EPA<\/a> officially proposed cutting the renewable fuel target for 2014 to 15.21 billion gallons<\/a> \u2014 down from 16.65 billion gallons this year and a scheduled 18.21 billion gallons for next year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…”It clearly caught folks by surprise,” said Michael McAdams, president of the Advanced Biofuels Association.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The biofuel industry felt it didn’t have to worry about the White House<\/a>, sensing it had several key allies in the Obama administration<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Obama Administration<\/a> doesn’t even seem to be consistent in its cronyism. They have alienated their friends and their foes on numerous occasions. The EPA justified the decrease by saying that the demand for gasoline is lower because cars are becoming more efficient.<\/p>\n

Ethanol<\/a> has resulted in higher food prices around the world, damage to boat engines, more expensive gasoline, and higher environmental damage in its refining. This is not a product we want to see more of. Carbon-based fuels do work better, and America is beginning to use its own carbon-based resources.<\/p>\n
