CONCORD, N.H. — New Hampshire’s House has voted to ban corn-based ethanol as a gasoline additive.
The ban would not take effect unless at least two other New England states do the same. A similar proposal has not been approved in the rest of the region.
The House voted Wednesday to send the bill to the Senate after supporters successfully argued the use of ethanol has not benefited the environment as much as hoped. They also pointed out that use of corn to make ethanol has driven up food prices.
Opponents said the bill’s aim was unachievable because New Hampshire is too small to warrant a boutique gasoline mix without ethanol. They said it would be better to express disapproval of the corn-based ethanol policy by sending a message to Washington.
It’s nice that NH has guts on this issue. Ethanol is terrible for small engines, and doesn’t last in storage as long. All of the enviro-nazis who are socialistic liberals love this whole ethanol thing for the contrived environmental benefits, but at the same time they ignore the hypocrisy that is driving food prices through the roof and terrorizing poor food buyers in all of Mexico, and Central & South America where corn is a huge staple. Aren’t socialists supposed to care about the very poor, or are they mostly just self-serving liberals of convenience with a guilty conscience inserted into their psyche by a biased media and leftist educational system? Hmmmm.
good for them. Where are the wombats on this position?

Good.
Ethanol is bad for engines, expensive, reduces milage, has huge carbon footprint.
It was a bad idea then and it’s a bad idea now.
…subsidized, efficiency reducing, size 22 carbon footprint ethanol needs to be removed from my gasoline ! !…hooray NH !…
