So many inaccurate statements in this thread. 1. The 16 billion gallons is ALL renewable fuels, not just ethanol. 2. Ethanol IS "subsidized" via the mandate. But oil is also heavily subsidized, yet no one seems to care much about that. 3. Lower gasoline use is a combination of less miles driven AND higher miles per gallon on vehicles. 4. 60% of corn exported? Try more like 12% or less. Now... that percentage is much higher if you count DDGs and meat -- the old adage of walking corn off the farm.
IF the mandate is ended? Again, HAH! Anyone remember MTBE? Ethanol is used in its place -- about 7.5 billion gallons annually.
So, those who get all riled up on this are doing so because of an original less than objective story and followed by many statements that are not based in fact.
There is an old adage in journalism -- never let the facts get in the way of a good story. That can apply to discussion threads like this as well.
