Testing has not yet shown whether higher levels of the fuel additive are acceptable and safe, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, a Chicago-based trade group, said Monday in a Washington, D.C., news conference.

Increasing the ethanol blend to 15%, currently being considered by the Environmental Protection Agency, could damage or ruin millions of small engines and possibly worsen air pollution, according to the engine manufacturers." Higher ethanol blend could ruin small engines, makers say - JSOnline

The problem is that Obama and his liberal buddies don't care about the potential damage their agenda inflicts on businesses or the average American.
