Consumer Federation of America.
Consumer Federation of America (CFA), Washington, DC, releases a
new study that explores the advantage to consumers in expanding the
production of liquid fuels like ethanol.
"Big Oil v. Ethanol: The Consumer Stake in Expanding the
Production of Liquid Fuels," finds that current record gasoline
prices are due to a shortage of refinery capacity, not the price of
crude oil and that the oil industry is contesting the growing support
for ethanol because ethanol poses a challenge to the oil industry's
market dominance.
