HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND READERS!

Well, here is a VERY interesting article I picked up a few days ago. It seems that at least one State has now become so disappointed with ethanol gasoline that they have introduced and passed a bill in their House of Representatives to BAN ETHANOL IN GASOLINE in their State! Hopefully, this trend catches on across the Country..........we'll see.

Here's the article:

NH House: Ban ethanol in gasoline

March 7, 2012

· B Boston Globe.com

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.
