Ethanol15 Approved!

[bg64vw]

Kydonky, you hit the nail on the head. Its never black and white like the media or politicians would like you to think. Ethanol can be a problem in some situations but this new fuel isnt going to take over the world, its meant to be an option like anything else. As for those that don't like the EPA all I can say is ignorance!!! Think about the last Olympics in China when they had to shut down all the manufacturing so everyone coming to China could breathe! How about Mexico, theres a reason people say don't drink the water because unlike the U.S. they don't always have safe potable water. As for FISHING what this forum is about, ask your local fishery biologist how important clean water is. Prior to the formation of the EPA and clean water act in 1970 most of the waters in this state were being filled with straight pipes from toilets and whatever the factories wanted to dump in. Take Green River in Hart County, years ago you could see water in multiple colors coming out in places like Hicks Springs from legally dumped wastes from factories in Horse Cave. Those same wastes today are handled as hazardous waste. It always blows me away that outdoorsmen don't like the EPA???

Ok guys...here is the deal:

This board is not for politcal posts. A post was made to make you aware that E15 had been approved and is coming. Obviously folks with outboards need to be aware of this and take the appropriate precautions to not use it. That is the type of discussion that goes on this Fishing Discussion Board. If you want to debate politics...take it to the "Off Topics" board.

Amen. I myself like to have clean water to drink and fish from.
If not for agencies like the USEPA or the Board of health we would be living in a cess pool still just like in Mexico or China.

I like to know that somone is watching out for the waters and the fish I catch to eat are safe to eat and not contaminated with toxic metals etc.

There is nothing wrong with protecting the environment that we all have to work and play in.

Very good points! To not want an agency to protect the environment and our resources is just ignorant. Go to any country that doesn't have an agency like the EPA, and see how fast you get the green-apple quick-step.
