Biden was in Iowa today pushing year round sales of E15 (Ethanol blended gas) , now let's take a closer look at this "idea" ?????

E15 facts 
 -  the EPA has banned the sale of E15 between June 1 & Sept 15 (annually)
 -  E15 will evaporate easily in warmer weather and adds to air pollution
 -  E15 is blamed for accelerated engine wear and engine failure .
 -  E15 is known to damage fuel systems 
 -  E15 caused engine failure will void your warranty

So Biden is fine with sacrificing the environment (or your engine) if it means saving a few pennies at the pump and the "woke squad" doesn't protest . Its ok to push a substandard product that pollutes more provided it adds a point to the polling numbers . Carbon capture is the red-headed stepchild that no left wingnut wants to acknowledge , why ? ..... it allows a defence for O&G which will not be allowed in the woke culture .

Instead government wants you to sacrifice your mobility , your savings , your job and your childrens economic future or you too will be cancelled . Since the 60's , so called "experts" have predicted another ice age , famine and global warming that would exterminate mankind (yeah I said it , MANKIND !!!) before the year 2020 . Its all BS to keep the sheep running toward the slaughter house instead of choosing to graze on grass and produce wool . Think about it , ask some questions or google the topic before you let anyone spook you into running . Just because the elevator door is open doesn't mean the car is in place , look before you leap .

Food prices out of control so let use more corn for fuel , higher ethanol lower gas mileage , cant make this stuff up LOL

And growing it is a major pollution crop.

I've read just as bad as drilling for oil.

Doesn't he have advisors that should know all of this?  I am beginning to think that the "panic button" has been pressed.

One more little tidbit on Ethanol (UN1986) , it presently is selling for $600/barrel . Ethanol also comes with this warning and I quote  " any application is forbidden if in touch with food , skin , pharmaceuticals , cosmetics or personal care products . Also banned is anything ingested , inhaled or a surface that could contact the skin such as sidewalks , kitchen or washroom sinks

After production of the pure ethanol (basically moonshine), they taint it with gasoline, to ensure that it is not consumed. With gasoline in it, they would provide most of these warnings.  But on its own ethanol is destructive to plastics, hence the caps on use as an additive for use in an ICE with gaskets, rubber tubing, etc.

Actually Konaboy , denatured ethanol has other additives mixed in before it is ever combined with gasoline which make it (denatured ethanol) poisonous/toxic . Also just the chemistry is counter-productive since alcohol dillutes oil which lowers cylinder protection and burns piston rings . E10 is about as high an ethanol content for gas as a standard ICE motor can safely use . But you are right
