Energycitizens.org is fighting to stop the EPA Ethanol scam
to increase ethanol in our gasoline from 10% to 15%. Ethanol is not good for
our engine parts and does reduce our fuel efficiency. We need to email our federal representatives and
senators to stop this.
Energycitizens.org prepared a letter to federal elected
officials as follows:
I am strongly opposed to unreasonable Renewable Fuel
Standard ethanol and biofuel mandates that put too much alternative fuel in our
gasoline and diesel. Please direct the
EPA to set biofuels limits at levels that make sense.
Ethanol levels higher than E10 put us in dangerous
territory. Higher ethanol blends, such
as E15, pose a risk to 90% of cars on the road today in addition to the smaller
engines found in boats, motorcycles, and gasoline powered tools.
High ethanol mandates are also bad for the environment,
decreasing vehicle fuel economy and causing consumers to fill their tanks more
frequently. These mandates also increase
the demand for corn for fuel, which negatively impacts food supplies and drives
up food costs.
Our fuel supply cannot handle higher ethanol levels set by
the RFS and our energy policies should evolve to reflect that reality. Please direct the EPA to set reasonable
ethanol mandates and fix the RFS. - energycitizens.org
