Quote from: DKG on Today at 09:47:59 AMIt takes more fossil fuel energy to make a gallon of corn ethanol than a gallon of gasoline.

In 2005 and 2007, Congress passed the Energy Policy and Energy Independence and Security Acts that together created the Renewable Fuel Standard program. RFS had three stated objectives: to improve U.S. energy security, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and to support rural economies and agricultural development.

Instead, RFS has increased motor fuel prices, increased food prices, put millions of carbon-sequestering acres of land into intensive cultivation, increased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and increased water consumption and pollution.

The gallons of U.S. gasoline displaced by federal ethanol blending mandates are being exported to Mexico and other nations. The great success of RFS has been the hand of the government transferring wealth from motorists to big agriculture corporations.
Ethanol mandates causes food scarcity.

Yes formosan, psychobilly. Frankly, I would be content to lump it all under rockabilly. Anyway, I consider it it a sub-category of rockabilly. This link will explain it better than I can:

Senators agree to forgo shutdown paychecks — but many won't feel the pain

The Senate unanimously agreed to forgo paychecks during future government shutdowns, but most senators are millionaires who may not feel the impact.

China will purchase at least $17 billion per year of U.S. agricultural products over the next three years, the White House said on May 17.

According to the agreement, China will make those purchases on top of the soybean purchase commitments that it made in October 2025.

China agreed to purchase at least 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans during the last two months of 2025 and at least 25 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans each year for three years: 2026, 2027, and 2028.

Donald Trump on Sunday delivered a new warning to Iran's leadership and said that Tehran must move quickly or "there won't be anything left," providing an update on what the administration wants from the regime as a tentative ceasefire continues to hold up.

"For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST ... TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Last week, Tehran submitted a peace proposal to the United States that Trump said he rejected due to a lack of guarantees on the country's nuclear program—a key component of the negotiations. On May 11, he told reporters that the ceasefire between the two nations was on "massive life support" as the U.S. military continues its naval blockade on Iranian ports.
