I'd like to know where you heard that, several bills in Congress are trying to enact a temporary reduction in the mandate or modify the Renewable Fuels Standard. Plus everything you said has been proven
false.
There is very little subsidy for Ethanol production, there are tariffs on Ethanol imports. Corn farming subsidies are actually down thanks to Ethanol and high corn prices. The VEETC went mostly to Oil refineries for blending Ethanol with Gasoline. Perhaps you mean the Ethanol mandate? The one that limits Ethanol from Corn?
Maybe you should do some research eh?
