by 2022.does that mean we will suffer high gas prices,ungodly food prices and the economy will get worse.look what gas prices are doing to people.how high will fuel prices to heat with be in the comming winters.people in northern states should get discounts in high amounts,we pay both gases.many should just move to warmer states to avoid heating prices??the gov is aware of the problems oil prices and gas prices are causing many.it is like as long as the rich make it,others can just suffer.they throw a few checks at us and say spend the money.the gov at the white house that owns oil drilling land,gov land,get more from that oil than all the stimulas checks they are sending out,in just one yr.plus all the interest they get off our trillions of dollars in taxes they collect each yr.so the gov isn't straining there pocket books one bit.how many will buy gas?food?and only nessary things?and taxes on money spent goes right back to the gov?it will not save the economy.nor help in many ways.
will simi drivers continue to use the fuel they do now or will they hhvae to buy new trucks that use new fuel?would not that cost them alot of extra money.then we hear about new cars that will use the new fuel.will we be forced to buy them?the way things are going how can alot of people buy cars?we are forced to pay high prices for food as it is now.so many things are going up.the people have no say about any prices.same way how we must buy from made in china,we don't make alot of things in america any more.the fuel prices are hurting the economy so bad.I don't think the new fuel thing is going to be so great in the long term thing.but then again the way the oil thing is going in other countries they'd prefere to put us in a deal where we can't get it without paying ungodly prices.that has alot to do with why we are in wars with the ones we are.if certain ones could stop flow through the purssian gulf many would be hurting.if exxon can make billions in profits there's greed not lack of.
gas prices have hurt people to the point houses arebn't selling,companies can No longer give raises in wages.cars are not being bought.many are not spending in many areas,so stores are hurting.food prices are as bad as gas prices.farmers well they just can't affors,but yet for years the american gov paid them NOT to plant crops.ethnol.look at the later on effects this will have on the land,food prices,and maybe the rich ones making all these choices,have no clue about alot of things because they don't know what poor is.think they never will be either.are they low waged paid ones,or farmers,or anyone who is experianced in what really matters.NO.saying they might of jumped the gun or made a mistake.pride before the fall.they can't admit that,to many already got invested.they don't want friends to know it was a unthought idea.when the land can't grow anything then what?we won't have oil if other countries stop shipment.we are in a mess.do what we ask?progress or stupidity?or greed.
take a relook to see if they are pushing things to much?to produce the ethnol in amounts they want they will be growing only corn.what about other foods american farmers grow?the foods we do need.what about all the corn we send to other countries.should not we say no more?how many truckers run ethnol products in trucks to transport?they don't.have not the prices they pay to drive products all over also raised food prices?yes.other wise there'd be no reason for food prices going up so high.how long before they just stop transporting?food prices are causing many problems for the averaged waged people in america.so many people have already stoped buying many things.hurting the economy more.we are seeing a no win deal.2 major problems bring up food prices.how long can we grow corn on the land,yr after yr before the land is so striped it won't grow anything?then ethnol will become so high in price.it will never be so cheap it don't hurt our paychecks just like gas is now.we best wake up.
