Ethanol, corn, switchgrass, and sugar cane
 |
||
The U.S. government is requiring ethanol to be mixed with gasoline. Traditionally ethanol has been made with corn. Now some nations (Brazil) are using sugar cane to make ethanol. Now advocates are urging the use of switchgrass to make fuel (ethanol). The problem with using an agricultural product to make or supplement fuel, it that it takes farm land out of the food supply chain. Thus causing the price of agricultural products and live stock to rise. Meaning while the cost of fuel is rising so is the price of the food on your table. While we are sacrificing our farm land to produce fuel, we are leaving in the ground and offshore 400 year supply of oil untouched. This is because the environmentalist, the Democratic Party, and stupid Republicans, all are allowing this nonsense to continue.

> importing brazilian sugar cane based ethanol.>and its ENVIORMENTALY FREINDLY!!Apparently, you're not aware of how much rain forest has been clearcut and burned in order to plant for biofuels. Let's see, drill hole for oil acres, or wipe out hectares of forest, then use vast amounts of fertilizer and water to produce ethanol, which produces more toxic fumes (search: ethanol toxic stanford) and is a net co2 increase over gasoline (search: ethanol co2 science magazine). Eco-friendly?

One station nearby sells the ethanol for Flex Fuel vehicles that's cheaper than conventional gas.Now we're well on our way to our independence from foreign oil and BOMBING EVERY FUCKING TOWEL HEAD IN THE MIDDLE EAST !!!

I have no idea. But I would think they use their sugar to produce their ethanol.
attie3 (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

Thank you for admitting you are a victim of the hate-America crowd who took over our colleges and universities.

This guy is irritating, obnoxious, arrogant, stupid, and on and on. He is the problem with our country. He talks a lot of feces but offers nothing helpful. Not to mention the fact he doesn't have one fact that is correct. Brazil must have an Area 51 type petroleum refinery somewhere and the ethanol plants are a clever cover for our UFO/Alien masters. He's a perfect example of people my statistics professor warned us about;"Numbers don't lie, BUT liars use numbers".
