www.paragonreport.com/PEIXwww.paragonreport.com/BIOFEthanol producers will lose about 25 to 30 cents per gallon on operating profits when the tax credit for blenders goes away next year. In addition, there is a proposal in Congress to reduce the amount of ethanol required by the Renewable Fuel Standard when corn supplies are tight in order to ensure ample supplies of feed corn.
Four out of the five GOP Presidential candidates who attended a manufacturing forum in Pella Iowa argued it is time to phase out subsidies for the fuel, saying the federal government should not be in the business of supporting one energy source over another. Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul also said they oppose ethanol subsidies.
