Worse, you can't send the mix through pipelines for long distances, as
I understand it, meaning that NE states have to scramble.

While all this goes on, there is a tarrif of 51 cents a gallon on
imported ethanol! You might ask your congressman about that....

Richard "***" Durbin (Democrat-Illinois) was just asked that by Jim
Cramer on Meet the Press. He stated that he does not want the tariff
removed and he strongly supports it to discourage ethanol imports. It's
ok apparently to import oil from unfriendly countries, but he doesn't want
a drop of ethanol coming in from say Brazil, unless it's taxed high enough
to make it unworkable.

He also says that he does NOT support more nuclear power but also does NOT
support more oil, gas, or coal generation either. Instead he favors more
hybrid cars and electric cars (to get their power from those generators he
doesn't want, you see.)

If any of this makes any sense at all to you and you live in Illinois,
keep voting for that guy. If you missed the discussion, I think CNBC will
rerun it tonight.
