Buis Speaks Against Anti-Ethanol Adds
A confederacy of special interest groups, including Big Food and Big Oil, are buying paid advertising to influence Washington, DC, insiders against ethanol. In reaction, Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy, says - some people’s interest in all this goes as far as the profit they can make from selling a box of corn flakes. They don’t care to take Hugo Chavez out of the business of selling oil to the U.S., and they don’t care about creating a sustainable, green economy that creates U.S. jobs while cutting carbon emissions. Buis emphasized, - ethanol does all those things. Buis proclaimed, - these are the usual critics, rehashing the same old message, and it is not supported by facts. According to Buis, - all these special interests want to do is mislead policymakers and America’s consumers for their own profits. Last year, the United States spent nearly 500-billion dollars on imported petroleum. At a time when everyday Americans are looking for jobs that help them buy groceries. Buis asks, - why is Big Food buying ads that will prevent jobs from being created here at home?
