1. Recommended Reading for the Day: For those outside ag and interested in the RFS and ethanol, read this. It will help you better understand why ethanol matters so much in the Midwest.
2. I also find it interesting that there is such a widespread appreciation out there in farm country about what small refinery exemptions are doing to effective RFS mandate levels.
3. Oh wait. I think I remember a #FDD article by somebody on exactly that topic a couple of months ago. Could be a connection. Just sayin. farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2018/07/epa-20…

1. You know I could not let this E15 thing go. I am going to come at from a different angle this morning. I want to start by reviewing what I have previously stated as my general position on the RFS.
2. My position is that the RFS is the law of the land. Congressional intent when the RFS was passed could not be clearer. It was designed to force biofuels into the transportation fuel supply. The RFS is the law and ag should be able to expect the law to be enforced faithfully.
3. Don't take my word about Congressional intent for the RFS. Here is what a U.S. Federal Appeals Court said about the matter in July 2017. Could not be more clear cut.

1. I do not regard myself as an "ethanol-friendly" economist. Just an economist. This gives me the chance to straighten out the record a bit.
2. My position is that the RFS is the law of the land. Congressional intent when the RFS was passed could not be clearer. It was designed to force biofuels into the transportation fuel supply. That is the law and ag should be able to expect the law to be enforced faithfully.
3. If you think the RFS is a bad law, then get Congress to change it. If you can't get Congress to change it, then learn to live with it. Undermining the law by creating backdoor waiver authorities through SREs ultimately undermines the rule of law.

1. In case you missed on Friday, my new #FDD on SREs and ethanol demand destruction. To date, I could not find much if any drop based on ethanol blend rates. farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2018/09/small-…
2. Summary point #1: Could be E10 ethanol demand destruction with SREs in the future if price of ethanol goes above price of gasoline.
3. Summary point #2: SREs have reduced the demand for E15 and E85 but hard to measure since it is so small. Further expansion of the demand for higher ethanol blends is not in the cards so long as SREs are granted (and not reallocated).

'Hysteria used to be the sworn enemy of newspapers. (Television, not so much.) Now everyone manufactures it. If you can keep your head when men are losing theirs all around you, as Kipling suggests, maybe you just don’t understand the situation.'@WashTimes washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/…
'We’re suddenly awash in so many crises capable of ending civilization as we know it that there’s barely enough hysteria to go around.

A worldwide hysteria shortage. Who knew?'

Introduction

Thank you Sec Ashcroft for that kind introduction. I’m glad to be here in Missouri and eager to spend some time with all of you today.

I’d like to begin by noting that tomorrow marks an important anniversary in our country’s history—the attacks on Sept 11th, 2001.
Nearly 3,000 innocent people died that day, making it the deadliest terrorist attack to ever occur on American soil. In the days following the attack, our fear and incredulity were replaced by defiance and determination.

1/ To celebrate @niemanfdn’s 80th anniversary year, we asked our alumni for examples of journalism that influenced them, their beat, their country or their culture. We’ll soon be publishing 80 answers @NiemanReports. And they’re spectacular.

2/ Among the joys of reading the accounts are vivid descriptions of where journalists were when they discovered the work that changed them. So much media is disposable, designed to last until the next breaking news alert. But these encounters had a rare indelible quality.
3/ @ajmacadam was 23, driving, when “The Vietnam Tapes of Lance Corporal Michael A. Baronowski” came on the radio. “I still remember where I was when I heard this story. It was night. I was driving alone—the best time to listen to the radio....This piece had it all.”

I committed myself belatedly to write about this "15 lakh" propaganda. I undoubtedly know that it is misleading propaganda about Mr. Modiji's statement, so I have never bothered to go into it in detail. But the stupid and hateful propaganda is back on social media...
and has even unnecessarily dragged Mr. Rajaji into this rubbish. So I decided to watch this sought-after YouTube video again, which is the only proof for every Modi haters out here.
WHAT EXACTLY DID MODIJI SAY BACK THEN?
There is so much black money outside India, and if all the black money buried abroad could be repatriated, then everyone's share in India would be about Rs 15 lakh, and that money could be used for the welfare of the country.
