| Making corn-based ethanol badly hurting environment |
| 2013-11-16 |
| [Aypee] Shocking! Bushitler is to blame as well? Somehow I knew it. CORYDON, Iowa The hills of southern Iowa bear the scars of America's push for green energy: The brown gashes where rain has washed away the soil. The polluted streams that dump fertilizer into the water supply. Even the cemetery that disappeared like an apparition into a cornfield. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Where have we heard that before ? With the Iowa political caucuses on the horizon in 2007, presidential candidate Barack Obama made homegrown corn a centerpiece of his plan to slow global warming. And when President George W. Bush signed a law that year requiring oil companies to add billions of gallons of ethanol to their gasoline each year, Mr. Bush predicted it would make the country "stronger, cleaner and more secure." But the ethanol era has proven far more damaging to the environment than politicians promised and much worse than the government admits today. It's been a highly successful vote getter however. As farmers rushed to find new places to plant corn, they wiped out millions of acres of conservation land, destroyed habitat and polluted water supplies, an Associated Press investigation found. Five million acres of land set aside for conservation - more than Yellowstone, Everglades and Yosemite National Parks combined - have vanished on Mr. Obama's watch. Yellowstone, Everglades, and Yosemite..... also owned by the gummit. |

| #4 Who pushed this PoS idea? I recall W suggesting using switchgrass. Do the libtards think it's been long enough that people will forget and they can pretend once again that they are cleaning up a mess made by Bushitler? |
