In 2000, McCain ran for president and reiterated his longstanding opposition to ethanol subsidies. Though it crippled his chances in Iowa, he argued that ethanol was a wasteful giveaway. A recent study in the journal Science has shown that when you take all impacts into consideration, ethanol consumption increases greenhouse gas emissions compared with regular gasoline. Unlike, say, Barack Obama, McCain still opposes ethanol subsidies.
The Real McCain - New York Times
Obama’s position on ethanol subsidies is right up there with his position on NAFTA (and trade in general) that makes me reconsider his authenticity. These are issues that smart people widely agree on; Obama is either not smart (I don’t believe that) or not authentic (much more likely).
