EPA approves sale of a higher-ethanol fuel to try to lower gas prices

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it would allow gas stations to continue selling slightly cheaper E15 this summer in a move that may be good for drivers and corn growers but will likely contribute to air pollution.

@ai6yr awesome and lets just be honest here:

This is a gift for red states that essentially rely on federal funds to function and corn farmers especially.

This is literally corn welfare

@cvvhrn @ai6yr Aren’t we anticipating fertilizer shortages as well?

@greenarchist @ai6yr Not at my house I have my own compost empire.

But yes those very same farmers depend on tons of commercial fertilizer

@cvvhrn @ai6yr That’s a lot of compost :)

@greenarchist @ai6yr I have another of the green ones and the black I store the dried carbon stuff. But one right now is full of firewood scraps when empty I will move it to its new home. Takes us 3 months or so to fill one then we move on to the next, by the end of the year we are back to first.

Screen it and the worms and larger stuff goes back into the bin and start over.

This one if where the screned is kept to cure and then used as fertilizer in the garden

@greenarchist
Specifically because of the provisions in the Big BS Bill that opens the door to higher ethenol production, Yes.
