Why don't we adopt Brazil's variable RFS policy.. when prices fall.. up the required blend rate.. they have currently..??  something like 15 to 25% of their fuel is alcohol.. We could do that here..

Make the oil companies install blender pumps.. and sell e-85.. They won't like it but WHO CARES?  It's not like Big Oil has a lot of political clout anyway..  and cheaper fuel would be a boon to the US economy.. since we still import like 50%.. anyway.. OPEC would become the shock absorber.. (which they already are anyway..)

That's what I would do...

Cheap corn.. convert like 6.5 billion bushels into like.. 18 bil gallons.. or.. basically what the RFS was calling for soon anyway..  Heck just implement the RFS AS IS...

I think we should PRESS the issue..  Obama doesn't care about Big Oil.. neither does some big red states.. Nebraska.. Dakota's that prefer ethanol anyway.. me in Ks...  Win Win.. 

edit add: through Oil a bone and allow Keystone to get built...???
