EPA rejects food cost relief

The EPA has rejected a request by the governor of Texas to stop adding ethanol to gasoline, which has the effect of raising food prices.

Ethanol is mostly made from corn.  When 10% of our gasoline is ethanol, that's a whole lot of corn.  Corn is also used to make a lot of food, including sugar (high fructose CORN syrup) and other staples.

The EPA is dumb and doesn't care what anyone thinks.
