Mandating the use of Ethanol in fuel known as E10 is harmful to vehicles, not renewable, decreases fuel mileage, increases food and fuel prices, contributes strongly to smog and other pollutants and additionally research has suggested that there is no net energy gained from the production of ethanol.
Given this information, the federal government should in fact call for the repeal of the mandates and encourage other more sustainable options.
Instead of passing a fuel to the public that is "green" only in perception. They are passing cost on to the consumer through maintenance, Increased demand for ethanol primarily derived from corn in the US increases demand for corn increasing its price and forcing the purchase of more fuel because E10 is less efficient than standard Fuel.
