Forty percent of American corn goes into ethanol as a gasoline additive. Yet this Hamburger Helper-style mix reduces fuel mileage, has little effect on petroleum imports, causes little or no reduction in air pollution or greenhouse gases, raises food prices, and will cost taxpayers $30 billion in the next five years in ethanol subsidies, Now the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has expanded this misuse of a vital farm product by increasing the ethanol proportion to 15 percent for cars and trucks with model years of 2001 and later. The EPA needed to increase the ethanol mix because demand was falling short of the mandated ethanol production level that will rise to 36 billion gallons year by 2022.
(Note) This piece won fourth in the school speech competition, and tied for first in the Sandy Andy Speech Competition. Thomas Edison put it: "If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves." If he were alive right now, I think that Mr.. Edison would use this phrase again. The fate of the earth, by the Greenhouse effect, is like an enormous scale. We have human causes of global warming, and natural causes of global warming. We can make a difference, but take a guess which side is weighing the world down?

West Virginia's two Republicans in Congress, Shelley Capito and David McKinley, both voted, in effect, to impose a $1,000-a-year tax increase on 160 million working Americans. They helped defeat a Senate-passed bill to lower the payroll withholding tax that supports Social Security. Republicans always say they want tax cuts but they mean for millionaires and billionaires, not for middle- class working Americans. Luckily, House GOP leaders realized that their party was suffering political damage, so they told Republican members to reverse course. nnn A Charleston politics-watcher suggested that Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., be dubbed Tea Party Joe because he was the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate who stood with GOP militants in all votes against lowering the payroll withholding tax for 1...

What would be my first step in preventing global warming and why? My first step would be to start recycling more things. I would recycle more things because it's an easy step. Some more easy steps would be pretty easy to do to. One of them is turning the lights off when you aren't using them. They burn up a lot of energy, and lots of your money. When you turn the shower on you should have all the stuff you need to take a shower. If you are not taking a shower and taking a bath, you will be using a bunch of water, and money. Those are my steps to help the world!
