Corn Cob Bob, the Canadian mascot of the ethanol fuel industry, is slated for some US TV exposure thanks to a minor controversy created by Shell Canada.
Bob is a university student dressed as a farmer, but with a corn cob headpiece. He promotes the use of ethanol in gasoline for the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association.
Ethanol wasn’t getting much ink until a dust-up last month, when the green fuel lobby was asked to close its booth at the Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa. Shell Canada was a sponsor of the festivities and “didn’t want us there”, says CRFA executive director Kory Teneycke.
