Put wind or solar on the land that grows ethanol corn. Run electric vehicles off the power. Use 99% less land per mile driven, at far lower cost. Let farmers use the freed-up land to do actual farmer stuff, like growing real food for humans and being good custodians of land for future generations.

Also E15 cost savings are an illusion. Yes E15 currently costs less per gallon at the pump but 1) it’s less energy dense so cars don’t go as far per gallon & 2) it’s more corrosive so gas stations would have to upgrade tanks/pumps & would likely pass on costs to consumers, raising prices at the pump

Year-round E15 is not a climate solution. It is not an affordability solution. And it is not a serious long-term energy strategy.
America can’t afford year-round E15 fuel — Congress must reject it
