It is reported that today California is using Brazil sugar cane ethanol at $0.16 per gal increase over using GMO corn fuel ethanol. In this game the cars and trucks get to pay and Big oil profits are the result that may be ready for change. We do NOT support AB 523 or SB 1396 unless the ethanol mandate is changed to voluntary ethanol in our gas. Folks that pay more at the pump for less from Cars, trucks, food, water & air need better, it is time. The car tax of AB 118 Nunez is just a simple Big oil welfare program, AAA questioned the policy and some folks still agree. AB 523 & SB 1326 are just a short put (waiver) from better results.

Very clever, San Francisco. I can hear the screams now when they have another power crisis and the cost of oil goes up again. Do these people not have a brain among them? Everyone wants clean air, but rational thought would better serve the cause than the typical knee jerk reactions of the greener-than-thou SF council.
