Ethanol Is America's Fuel From American Farmers - What's Wrong With That?


DATA SOURCE: America's Problem, American Solution
DATA SOURCE: Food Prices Rise - Not Because of Ethanol, But Oil and Gasoline

Lincoln, NE March 16, 2011; Commenting on a letter sent to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack by the Governor's Biofuels Coalition, Growth Energy Public Affairs Director Chris Thorne said; "The Governor's Biofuels Coalition is to be commended for pointing out that the way corn use is counted in the United States leaves a great deal on the table, uncounted, in the form of Dried Distillers Grains (DDGs) from ethanol.

More than a third of all corn that goes into ethanol production is returned to the food chain in the form of highly-valued, nutritious livestock feed that replaces a greater volume of field corn, thereby saving livestock producers money.

There has been a willful effort to distort the truth about American ethanol's ability to provide both food and fuel, mostly from the companies that seek to profit from high grocery store prices.

Including use of Distillers Grains (DDGs) from ethanol in the overall count of corn use in the United States would go a long toward closing the book on this 'food v. fuel' fiction."

Food Vs. Fuel Another Diversion From the Fine Folks In OPEC and Their Fellow Travelers
