US Senate votes to end ethanol subsidies


The Senate voted 73 to 27 on Thursday to wipeout billions of dollars in support for the U.S. ethanol industry.The Senate approved an amendment to end the 45-cent-a-gallon subsidy the government gives refiners and the 54-cent-per-gallon tariff on imported ethanol from Brazil and other countries.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives voted 283-128 on Thursday to prevent Agriculture Department funding for tanks and blender pumps that the ethanol industry wants so stations can sell gasoline with higher blend rates.
