Ethanol doesn't burn cleaner than gasoline, nor is it cheaper. -- Jeff Goodell
Ethanol and biodiesel allow people to burn a cleaner form of energy. -- Mark Kennedy
Ethanol is, in its pure form, just as much of a sham as oil. -- Rob Corddry
Ethanol is a premier, high performance fuel. It has tremendous environmental benefits and is a key component to energy independence for our country. -- Richard Lugar
Ethanol reduces our dependence on foreign sources of oil and is an important weapon in the War on Terror. By investing in South Dakota's ethanol producers, we will strengthen our energy security and create new jobs. -- John Thune
Ethanol has reduced our nation's dependence on imported energy, created thousands of jobs, reduced air pollution, and increased energy security. And renewable fuels cost less at the pump. It is a growth fuel that fuels opportunities for millions of Americans. -- Lane Evans
Ethanol's not an ideal fuel. -- Craig Venter
It's extraordinary how inventive one can be with ethanol right now. -- Daniel Yergin
By furthering the use of ethanol, farmers are presented with the opportunity to produce a cash crop by collecting their agricultural wastes. -- Richard Lugar
We should increase our development of alternative fuels, taking advantage of renewable resources, like using corn and sugar to produce ethanol or soybeans to produce biodiesel. -- Bobby Jindal
As we all know, no crude oil refineries have been built in the United States since 1976. During that time, close to 100 ethanol refineries have been built. -- John Shimkus
Renewable ethanol represents a clear opportunity to grow a significant portion of our own fuel locally and begin to break the hold imported fuels have on us. -- Mike May
But we must take other steps, such as increasing conservation, developing an ethanol industry, and increasing CAFE standards if we are to make our country safer by cutting our reliance on foreign oil. -- Jim Costa
By increasing the use of renewable fuels such as ethanol and bio-diesel, and providing the Department of Energy with a budget to create more energy efficiency options, agriculture can be the backbone of our energy supply as well. -- John Salazar
By reducing our dependence of foreign oil and increasing alternative energy sources such as ethanol, we can begin to bring down prices at the pumps, create thousands of new jobs and bring a much needed boost to our economy. -- Jim Ryun
If we can produce more ethanol and bio-diesel to help fuel our vehicles, we will create jobs, boost local economies and produce cleaner burning fuels. This will keep dollars here at home where they can have a positive impact on our economy. -- Rick Renzi
Its clear there is an energy positive in producing ethanol. -- Patricia A. Woertz
It's clear there is an energy positive in producing ethanol. -- Patricia A. Woertz
In case you didn't know, ethanol is made by mixing corn with your tax dollars. -- Paul Gigot
I don't care whether you use natural gas, ethanol, the battery. You can use anything, just so it's American. -- T. Boone Pickens
American farmers, by making the commitment to grow more corn for ethanol, are at the top of the spear on the war against terrorism. -- James Woolsey
Biofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good. -- Elon Musk
American farmers, by making the commitment to grow more corn for ethanol, are at the top of the spear on the war against terrorism. -- James Woolsey
Certain food-based biofuels like biodiesel have always been a bad idea. Others like corn ethanol have served a useful purpose and essentially are obsoleting themselves. -- Vinod Khosla
I'm for ethanol, and I think it's a very important partial ingredient of the overall mix of alternative and renewable fuels we ought to commit to. -- John F. Kerry
Democrats believe we should renew our commitment to creating tax credits for hybrid vehicles, increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars, and investing in ethanol, biofuel, hydrogen fuel cell technology -- Rosa DeLauro
I know just enough about thermodynamics to understand that if it takes too much fossil-fuel energy to create ethanol, that's a very stupid way to solve an energy problem. -- Charlie Munger
We saw some resistance in the Wichita market until we partnered with EPIC. The increased awareness and information handed out regarding ethanol-enriched fuel made a huge difference in the public's perception. -- Mike Hoffman
Political pandering comes in all shapes and sizes, but every four years the presidential primary bring us in contact with its purest form - praising ethanol subsidies amid the corn fields of Iowa. -- John Sununu
Corn ethanol can help in the short term, but it has serious limitations, and none of this is going to work if we don't dramatically improve the efficiency of our cars and trucks. -- David Friedman
Corn is already the most subsidized crop in America, raking in a total of $51 billion in federal handouts between 1995 and 2005 - twice as much as wheat subsidies and four times as much as soybeans. Ethanol itself is propped up by hefty subsidies, including a fifty-one-cent-per-gallon tax allowance for refiners. -- Jeff Goodell
We are not trying to prevent new clean energy businesses from succeeding. Any business that's economical, that can succeed in the marketplace, any form of energy, we're all for. As a matter of fact, we're investing in quite a number of them, ourselves - whether that's ethanol, renewable fuel oil. -- Charles Koch
From the starch-heavy 'food pyramid' to ethanol fuel, the government adopts programs not because they are right but because they gains votes, money or political power or solve problems that politics has already created, such as silos full of subsidized wheat or a shortage of gasoline due to the maze of controls on refining. -- Robert Prechter
It's estimated that about 30 percent of the increase in grain prices could be attributed to the decision to embrace biofuels, particularly corn-based ethanol. It has done nothing for climate change and the business is in real trouble now with the collapse of oil prices. It's completely dependent on a dollar subsidy and tariff from the government. -- Michael Pollan
His teeth sang in their individual sockets like tuning forks, each one pitch-perfect and clear as ethanol. -- William Gibson
Government-mandated and -subsidized ethanol from corn will go down in history as the "Iraq War" of environmental solutions: ill-considered, costly, and disastrous. -- Van Jones
