Press Release: October 12th, 2006 Renewable Energy Conference.
President Bush speaking at the 2008 International renewable Energy Conference:
"...I strongly supported ethanol...
And the vast majority of that ethanol is coming from corn, and that's good. That's good if you're a corn-grower. And it's good if you're worried about national security. I'd rather have our corn farmers growing energy than relying upon some nation overseas that may not like us...".

Ethanol Production & The
Farming and Corn Industry
E10 Ethanol alcohol, a renewable gasoline, profits the farming industry and decreases U.S. dependence on foreign fuels.
Problems arose since E10 & E85 attracts water into gas, which can cause engine damage.
Portable, reusable Fuel Test Kits help to assure gas at pumps contain safe levels of alcohol, < 10%.
Energy is a $ 1 trillion dollar industry representing 8 % of the U.S. Econony.

The rapid increase in E10 ethanol-blend fuel use, mandated by the U.S. government, has created a financial BOOM to the farming industry, because ethyl alcohol is made from corn, grains and other farm grown natural products.
Increase in E10 distribution has been very profitable to other major industries, too - Including mechanic/repair stations, engine manufacturers and more. (Ethanol causes increased wear on engine parts and mechanical problems due to the damaging effects alcohol has on motor parts).
The farming industry has barely been able to keep up with the increased need for corn/grains used to produce ethanol, which has been reflected in the current increased cost of these consumable grains, due to a sudden change in supply and demand.
