AAA wants sale of new ethanol-laced gasoline suspended until consumers get more information
The nation’s leading travel organization Friday urged the Obama administration to block the sale of E15, a new ethanol-laced gasoline, that could damage as many as 228 million vehicles that are not designed to run on it.
After years of controversy,...Tags: Chrysler, Hyundai, Renewable Energy, Ford, AAA

Ethanol from corn still sounds questionable
If Ernie Shea is right and ethanol is still the answer, he is wrong if he believes that corn-based ethanol is the right answer ("Ethanol still the answer," Sept. 21). I have no problem with the Renewable Fuel Standard passed by Congress. I do have a...Tags: Renewable Energy, Biofuels

U.S. must abandon corn-based ethanol
The use of ethanol in gasoline has a long and sordid history ("Food or fuel?" Aug. 3). By the early 1990s, EPA regulations had reduced tailpipe emissions from new cars by over 95 percent of 970s levels, and only about 3 percent of the hydrocarbons in...Tags: Heart Disease, Organic Chemical Industry, Renewable Energy, Biofuels, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Ethanol production not hurting corn supply
Charles Campbell's letter ("U.S. must abandon corn-based ethanol," Aug. 29) blames American biofuels for everything from air pollution to malnutrition. But the facts tell a very different story. Far from having no impact on air pollution or actually...Tags: Petroleum Industry, Biofuels, Renewable Energy, Global Warming

Alcohol and cars do mix
I agree with Mike Tidwell that fossil-fuel-based global warming is producing violent changes in our weather — something that only the most die-hard right-wingers (think Rush Limbaugh) and those in the hip pocket of the oil industry (think Tom...Tags: Petroleum Industry, Renewable Energy, Biofuels, Hybrid Vehicles, Forests

Rethinking the food vs. fuel debate
This year's drought, along with recent news reports of the lowest corn yield in 17 years, has rekindled the food vs. fuel debate — and, for good reasons. When Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act in 2007, an ambitious schedule...

Revoke ethanol mandate now
Thanks to Charles Campbell for his very enlightening commentary about the huge international costs resulting from our national ethanol mandates in gasoline, resulting in dire increases in food costs worldwide ("U.S. must abandon corn-based ethanol," Aug....Tags: Renewable Energy, Biofuels

Corn-based ethanol fuel won't solve our energy problems
My recent letter of questioning the use of corn to produce ethanol prompted the expected rebuttal from the Renewable Fuels Association ("U.S. must abandon corn-based ethanol," Aug. 28). That, however, doesn't change the fact that corn ethanol only...Tags: International Economic Institution, Biofuels, Renewable Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environmental Politics

Ethanol still the answer to America's Renewable Fuel Standard
Corn prices have reached record highs as a result of this summer's devastating drought, and it hasn't taken long for some to use the crisis as leverage for their own political agendas — namely, the opposition to domestic renewable fuel. The...

According to a worker at the site, the gas pumps could...Tags: Biofuels, Renewable Energy, Downstream Oil and Gas Activities, Heavy Engineering, Catonsville
