Posted by Cindy Zimmerman – February 17th, 2010
In this edition of “The Ethanol Report,” we hear from both the chairman and the president and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association at the 15th Annual National Ethanol Conference held in Orlando, Florida this week.
Chairman Chris Standlee of Abengoa Bioenergy talks about the mood at the event, RFA’s new membership award, and developments toward second generation ethanol. President and CEO Bob Dinneen discusses how the industry fared in 2009, the new RFS2 rule from EPA, and the importance of keeping ethanol incentives in place to continue growth.

Dinneen is full of it. Commenting on EPA rolling over and continuing the subsidy of diverting food for inefficient low BTU fuel, he says: “I’m tired of it.”
He needs his tax credits extended or inefficient uneconomic fuel plants can’t survive even with forced blending.
Well, I’m tired of the federal government building up debt that threatens future generations while providing welfare checks to fat cats like Dinneen.

I’d rather see the fed’s subsidize American industry and our efforts to reduce climate change than to have Americans subsidize foreign countries that produce oil. In some cases, we almost TOTALLY pay for those countries’ operation, sometimes to the point where their citizens get paid to live there (like Kuwait). Then to top it off, we spend BILLIONS to defend those countries or to fight off their foes, and pay to rebuild the damage caused during the conflicts. And in many cases, these countries either hate us, despise us, or are our outright enemies! Too many Americans are shortsighted and don’t fully comprehend ALL of the consequences and FULL cost of our “cheap” oil and gasoline!
