Letter Of The Day

The July 26 headline, "Bill Would Expand U.S. Ethanol Use: Agreement Seen As 'Positive Step' for Iowa's Corn Farmers," tells only part of the story.

I applaud increased use of the renewable fuels that should lessen our reliance on Middle East oil. However, in that energy bill the petroleum companies gained ever more lucrative concessions for their profitable enterprises.

They've tossed some "crumbs" to renewable fuels while behind the scenes the oil companies again get the "frosting."
