ETHANOL is it good? A guy on Myspace said this how many of yall think this is ture
%26quot;ETHANOL SUCKS
Converting food into car fuel, you’ve got to be frickin’ kidding me. The 2 most basic necessities of life are food and water, and with over 2 billion people on this planet malnourished and starving we’re growing food to convert it into fuel for cars instead of using it to feed people……brilliant!!!
Why don’t we suck all the freshwater lakes dry and convert that to energy too while we’re at it. %26quot;

Drinking Ethanol very very good. 0% 0 Votes
that it takes 1 gallon worth of fossil fuel to make 1.34 gallons worth of ethanol. That%26#039;s TERRIBLE efficiency considering how much land it uses. But it%26#039;s great government pork!

Biodiesel is much better at 1 gallon%26#039;s worth of fossil yielding 3.2 gallons worth of biodiesel, and hey, farm equipment runs on diesel, so 0 gallons of fossil yields 2.2 gallons of bio. Better, but still not great. Algae has the potential to make biodiesel great. Nothing is gonna help ethanol due to the insane energy costs of distillation.

Hold your breath. Don%26#039;t let it out, until you think of an even more basic necessity than food and water.

Get involved in actually feeding the hungry of the world... you%26#039;ll find out it%26#039;s a LOT harder than it sounds. There%26#039;s plenty of food, but distributing it is a problem. Go watch %26quot;Black Hawk Down%26quot;, the first part at the U.N. camp. Even when there%26#039;s peace, if you give away food, you undercut the struggling local farmers and put them bankrupt. It%26#039;s a %26quot;give a man a fish%26quot; vs %26quot;teach a man to fish%26quot; problem.

Bottom line there%26#039;s PLENTY of food. The government is paying farmers to grow corn now, instead of to grow nothing. The corn would have fed chickens. The soy would have made frying oil. So who you%26#039;re REALLY starving is KFC and Chicken McNuggets. Which are really, really bad for you.

Corn and soy are bad for you too.

Ethanol, in my opinion, is not a good alternative fuel, not because of food shortage, but because it is as polluting, if not more, than petroleum. 17% 1 Vote

Yes it is a good alternative
No because it takes a lot of energy to create
If we could find a way to reduce the amount of energy used to create ethanol, it would be an excellent alternative.
So in all yes it is a good alternative. 0% 0 Votes

How can a substance be good or bad? It%26#039;s what you do with it that counts. It costs more than gasoline to produce. Won%26#039;t take you as far as gasoline and is only being used as a fuel because of huge subsidies paid to producers. If it was economically efficient the market would have done it already.
Another tool of leftists to have government control what you do but on the good side it also helps to screw over OPEC. 17% 1 Vote

Ethanol no good, a study was recently done showing that in a time span of 30 years, ethanol would be much worse for environment becuase of all the energy it needs to make it and various other factors.

The only %26quot;good%26quot; fuel is Electric or Hydrogen 0% 0 Votes
