Yup, so now they will put ethanol in the gas tanks and drive up the cost of grain, meat and dairy

I've read several analysis to the effect that the cost of producing ethanol, including subsidies, exceeds cost of petroleum saved. Further, the "carbon footprint" of the logistics chain from fertilizer production (corn is a very heavy feeder) to farm equipt., through distilling, is larger than the "carbon footprint" of the replaced petroleum.

So, should you be wondering what to do with that tax refund, investing in canned goods and TP likely to yield a fine ROI.

I haven't received a tax refund in decades. I plan ahead to avoid giving the government an interest free loan

CPT Jack Durish Right there with you, Jack. My goal is zero. One of those rare occasions where I'd rather give (a little) than receive.
