The heartland senators wants to raise the ethanol in gas from 10% to 15% so that the farmers can get more govt subsidies for raising corn. Everyone knows by now that the carbon footprint for ethanol production was a lot higher than gas itself. Also cost a lot of money to produce. That is why the govt is subsidising the program.

They send the 'feel good' to the taxpayers that it is good for the US because we use less gas. In reality it is raising food prices and our tax dollars.
