The rural Midwest doesn’t have to be a sacrifice zone for corn and soybeans.

And of course the Illinois Farm Bureau hates the idea of public recreation on rivers & streams.
Somehow Iowa manages to grow corn & soybeans with people canoeing in the creek.
Illinois farmers, apparently too easily distracted by paddlers, just aren't as capable as Iowa farmers. Sad!

I'm shocked—SHOCKED—that the CO2 pipeline has nothing to do with climate solutions and Summit has now seamlessly pivoted to using CO2 from ethanol to pump more oil.
Cashing in on tax credits either way.
Just one more layer of the ethanol scam.

IOWA DEFEATS ILLINOIS!
No, not March Madness; public waterways for recreation.
Iowa defines a "navigable stream" as any stream that can float a vessel carrying one or more persons for six months in one out of every ten years.
If you can canoe it, you can enjoy it.
Meanwhile in Illinois...
"Who will milk the cows?"
The problem w these pieces is they center Trump & partisan leverage instead of examining the structural economy that created dependency on an immigrant workforce that can't say "no."
As if tolerated exploitation or mass deportation are only options.
Illinois DNR says the public has no right to 98% of the state's waterways—despite longstanding federal and state law that should allow broad recreational access, much more like Iowa.

Increased ethanol mandates could worsen fuel prices?
Biofuels crowd doesn’t care. Ethanol is not about fuel. It’s a commodity price support program for a favored class.
US is the world’s largest oil & gas producer; ethanol is a rounding error.
Ethanol math has never penciled out.
