The Wicked Blend Wall
Posted: February 22, 2010
The entertainment during a reception at the Renewable Fuels Association National Ethanol Conference last week came up with some new lyrics to an old Pink Floyd song that hits on the blend wall facing the nation’s ethanol producers.
The group, made up of three ethanol industry executives, is called “Green Floyd” and the parody lyrics to the other Floyd’s “The Wall” include references to EPA administrator Lisa Jackson, the waiver to allow up to 15 percent ethanol in regular gasoline, RFA president and CEO Bob Dinneen and the blend wall faced by the industry if the allowable blend is not increased.
With credit to Frontline Bioenergy CEO Bill Lee, Neil Koehler with Pacific Ethanol and bioenergy consultant Paul Kamp, here are the lyrics to “The Blend Wall” (to the tune of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”) and a short video clip to enjoy.
We don’t need o-ver production
We could use some E-15
Lisa Jackson, approve our waiver
Listen to our man, Dinneen
Hey, Lisa –
Listen to Bob Dinneen!
All in all it’s just another wicked Blend Wall
