Ethanol may cause more global warming? Who really believes this story on yahoo that is another skewed and untrue story, perpetrated by big oil money? There are already laws that do not allow this to happen. And those who still have a clue remember the dust bowl. Farmers are constantly looking for something they can produce and is in enough demand that they can actually count on a good price.

This reminds me of the false information that big oil paid for that said electric cars actually do more harm to the environment then oil based engines. Laughable at best.

Your thoughts?

Actually anything that has starches in it can be used for making ethenol. I agree it isnt very cost effective (thanks to oil co.s manipulation) And you can make it yourself for pennies. I agree forests shouldnt be torn down just to raise more corn, but we already feed the world with what we have easily. If oil companies stop making fertilizer out of corn it would help. And nobody pollutes more environment then oil companies so dont even go there.

it dose reduce greenhouse gas emissions but only slightly. oil is still used to grow and transport grains which are used to make Ethanol.

Ethanol is at best a temporary solution. unless we can somehow work out how to grow all the food the world will need and also have enough land to %26quot;grow%26quot; fuel ethanol will only create problems. the future of fuels are hydrogen fuel cells. they are the most energy dense and hydrogen is very abundant. 0% 0 Votes
