...One of those wonderful things we live with along with the other government regulations from idiots that don't know how to tie there own shoes but make laws to help the general public.
The 10 scariest words in the world are: "I'm from the government, and I'm here to "help" you".

All the corn being used for making this stuff has led to a shortage that is killing Texas farmers who used to use corn to feed stock. Governor Perry sent in a note to Prez Bush requesting that Texas be exempted from taking part in this mandatory push to use corn squeezings in our gas because it was hurting our farm economy and was turned down. I hope the next round of elections don't spur on more federal lunacy.
BTW folks: if you want to laugh (or cry)enter this into the search engine:
ethanol scam
You will learn that it actually takes MORE FUEL OVERALL to use ethanol than pure gasoline. Ethanol can NOT be sent down pipes, it has to be trucked to it's destination and is an ENERGY LOSER not a "green solution".
It's just ciorporate welfare to the big agro conglomerates who are making a bundle off it.

The process using grain is a loser from the beginning, the process that uses cellulose could be a winner if the process can be scaled to commercial usage.
Typing "Ethanol Scam" into a search box is not going to get you unbiased reports :laugh: :laugh:

You can do your own research. Any way you slice it, ethanol takes more energy to produce than it saves. It's a flat out scam to benefit agro business conglomerates.
The only thing more absurd is the use of hydrogen powered vehicles to "save the environment" when hydrogen is produced by electrolysis which requires electricity, most of which comes from coal-fired plants......
