Maine to explore alternatives to Ethanol

A bill has been presented in Maine with the intention of creating a group to explore alternatives to ethanol in gasoline. Supporters of the bill claim ethanol damages engines and pushes up food prices, but critics say it is pointless due to the federal mandate for ethanol use in the state. The group which would be created by LD 839 will study the impact of ethanol on the state’s compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments and the negative impacts of ethanol.
