When the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 was signed, a bill that mandates ethanol fuel blending, there was supposed to be a report issued to Congress every three years, discussing the effects ethanol had on the environment and the economy. However, this has not happened according to the Inspector General for the EPA, after being pressed by the Associated Press regarding these studies. The agency just ignored the instructions.
The Act was signed by President Bush, but the implementation and the follow-up studies fell squarely on Obama Administration’s shoulders. AP discovered that the administration never did the studies to see whether the water and air quality had benefited from “adding the corn-based ethanol to gasoline”.
This new audit verified that the Obama administration, in failing to do the study of ethanol and making certain that these new regulations did not create more problems in other areas making them worse, while only addressing one.

WHY ???????
I refuse to put that garbage in my tank….
Ethanol free gas ONLY
Don’t like the law? That’s okay, we’ll just pass a new law while no ones looking, then we can pick and choose what we want
KarenDewayne Brown, please get you facts correct before repeating what some car salesman told you in order to sell you an automobile that uses 85% ethonol. You get less mileage with that c**p than streight regular gas. It costs less here than regular gas and still can’t se much of it.
Obama and his b******t agendas
EPA is another 3 letter government bs factory that needs to be put to rest!
With a fool like him in charge it’s a wonder we still have a country at all.
The epa does it again who created the epa?
I wish they would get rid of the stuff. All it does is make your truck run like$#%&!@*and use more fuel. I’ve even thrown some on a fire and had it not hardly flame up. I think it is doing more harm than good due to decreased mileage. Run some non ethanol and you’ll see the difference.
I’m sure with the fuel needed to harvest corn, transport it, process it into ethanol, transport it again and then blend it into uneconomical fuel that it’s a real winner for the environment lol
