It's a plan, say many experts, that will mean higher costs for all of us each day at the gas pump, and each year at tax time. Consider the facts: Ethanol fuel is made from grains, such as corn. An ethanol fuel industry is not viable without massive government subsidies. A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricul-ture report concluded that a government gov-ernment subsidized fuels program would cost taxpayers billions. The report said, "It would be much more economical to burn straight gasoline gaso-line in our automobiles and pay farmers a direct subsidy equal to the amount they would receive as a result of ethanol production." The extra taxes we would pay for ethanol eth-anol subsidies would also mean less money would be available for other important government programs. Substituting ethanol for gasoline gas-oline on a large scale would not reduce re-duce U.S. oil imports. The tractors, combines, grain trucks and distilleries distil-leries involved in ethanol production produc-tion simply burn more energy than they ultimately produce. Ethanol fuel blends could in- crease gasoline prices by three to seven cents a gallon, according to some sources. Methanol, another alcohol-based alcohol-based fuel produced from natural gas and coal, would have to be imported im-ported in large quantities, possibly endangering our country's energy security. Widescale methanol use could require the costly production of new pipelines, tank trucks, rail cars and storage facilities. The costs could end up being paid with taxpayer dollars. Many people object to the "gasohol" subsidy plan, which would mandate the use of methanol or ethanol gas in some areas. They also feel any plan to force consumers consum-ers to use alcohol-based fuels and pay more for the privilege goes against free market principles. Whatever your views on this issue, you can let your legislators know by writing them at the U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510 and the House of Representatives, Washington, Wash-ington, D.C. 20515.
