EK+-+Ethanol

The US is promoting ethanol now, but a 54 cent tariff on ethanol offsets current efforts.

President- Elect Obama will extend Bush's policy on foreign ethanol.
Parker and Chipman 2008 (Mario Parker and Kim Chipman, November 6, 2008. Obama to Back Ailing Ethanol Makers, Follow Failed Bush Policy [|**http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a2QOK2ttty_I&refer=us**] ) 


Thus we offer the following plan- The United States federal government should substantially increase alternative energy incentives by removing all tariffs and duties to ethanol in the United States. We'll clarify.

They first read inherency, saying that starvation was happening in the US from the use of corn ethanol and that the tariff on ethanol was stopping the use of ethanol. They than read the plan, The USFG should substantially increase incentives for alternative energy use by removing the tariffs and [insert other import law here] from imported ethanol. After that they read Solvency which was 1)that economics incentives to Brazil would increase ethanol production and use 2)the ending of the tariff would increase Brazilian sugarcane and 3)it would develop the US ethanol industry. Advantage 1= Corn production and solves for the food vs. power struggle, and ethanol solves impacts, shifting from corn = the people of the world not dying and corn prices go down. It also solved the pollution of the Gulf of Mexico and stops drought in the Great Plains. Advantage 2= The Chavez adv. Chavez is the Brazilian leader, or someone in Political Power, and he is aggressive to the US. With corn ethanol, he gets angrier and the US gets bad things happening. Opening ethanol trade will make Chavez not angry, and will be friendly with the US. They also stated that US hegemony was good.
