I say go ahead with the additional ethanol with the following conditions. 1. Drastically reduce the cost of ethanol laced gas. 2. Guarantee everyone that if engine damage occurs because of the additional ethanol, the ethanol producers repair all vehicles affected without crying foul or making up some far fetched story about how they are not at fault.

He will pay consultants to cobble together rebuttals. It's what he is paid to do. He will fight any and all science no matter how good, no matter how much. You can't expect him to ever say, "Huh, your science is airtight alright. Boys, clean out your desks. We've made a terrible mistake here!" The only way to blunt this food based boondoggle is to educate the public and force the politicians hands out of the pockets of the lobbyists. Science is never settled. Go visit the Creation Museum. Here is a short, incomplete list of some of the science from the past decade. The legislation mandating food based biofuel use wasn't based on science. http://home.comcast.net/~russ676/biodiesel/page3.html Of course the head of the National Biodiesel Board (or the RFA) will kick and scream at any mention of any science that might hurt his profit margin.
