vague” – Thurman Arnold

Ethanol20
“It’s like trying to solve a traffic problem by mandating hovercraft. Except we don’t have hovercraft.” Robert Rapier, The Oil
Drum

Why things are hard to change
Slow capital turnover
Slow fleet turnover
Low population density makes mass transit impracticable
Logistics revolution means more trucks / shipments
The “Amazon Effect” means more retail deliveries
Greater wealth means more VMT

Applying the public choice lens
Rational ignorance: Energy policy is hard to understand, voters hear about “energy
independence”, evil energy companies, and miracle cures not market fragmentation, shifts in capital spending, or the costs of the small refiner bias.
Voting rules matter: Seniority + interest overweights power of representatives of
domestic energy interests in Congress and legislatures
Iowa caucuses and ethanol

Interest group organizing costs matter: Small refiner bias, I&M programs, corn ethanol, renewables
industry
Regulators are people too: ADM contributions of $7.9m from 1989-2006 (#85) + soft
money
Cato estimates each $1 of ADM ethanol earnings costs taxpayers $30
2005 McCain votes against energy bill b/c of ethanol mandate; 2006 declares ethanol “a vital energy source”
