Republicans block E85 pumps
It's one thing to say you support ethanol, or renewable fuels in general. Anybody can say that. It's another to back it up with action. Talk the talk, and walk the walk. Republicans failed to do that again.

"Republicans cited a bogus concern that the money would end up going to big oil companies--even though no gas stations in Wisconsin are owned by one of the big six oil companies," Doyle's office said in a media release. "Virtually all gas stations in Wisconsin are independently owned, and not one penny of the funding would have gone to big oil."
I suppose it's a valid concern. After all, Republicans TAKE money from big oil. It probably confused them when they thought they were going to GIVE money to big oil. Either way, they can take confort in knowing that they carried more water for big oil with this obstruction.
And I wonder why fuel prices are high while oil execs reel in record profits.
