In my worldview, a political issue that Biden and the EU agree on, and Trump is less enthusiastic about is probably a good thing.

I don't know all the ins and outs, and would generally prefer moving to EVs, but you didn't actually mention why you're not a fan of this policy?

I don’t have a reference for this, but I seem to recall that corn ethanol in particular produced more CO2 in its production then you saved by burning it.

(Might have been a different ethanol. There are many things that can be turned into ethanol, and it matters if some are worth it and others are not).
