I recall reading studies that demonstrated your point, but don't recall where I saw them.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-81070463196366345012013-11-13T11:56:59.778-08:002013-11-13T11:56:59.778-08:00I suspect, but don't know for sure, that if yo...I suspect, but don't know for sure, that if you take into account the fuels that are burned to make the fertilizer and to process the corn into ethanol, that using ethanol does not reduce green house gas emissions. Ethanol just isn't as clean as politicians would like to believe it is. But it keeps the farm lobby happy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990269310381826048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-72041132564734300502013-11-13T05:53:06.655-08:002013-11-13T05:53:06.655-08:00I have often wondered about the mind that could ta...I have often wondered about the mind that could take what is food for people and animals and use it for a fuel additive. For many people corn is the one staple they have and to utilize it otherwise only increases starvation and dependency on governments. <br />The prices of almost everything that depends on corn goes up and the resultant costs limit the amount of food available for everyone. This is not to even consider the damage that ethanol does to the environment. I have a gas powered trimmer that the feed lines were eaten away by ethanol. I had failed to notice that they sell a product that is put in the gas tank that lessens the damage of ethanol. I will let you ponder the costs of mitigating ethanol's affect in a larger context. Poor science.<br />Considering that one of the battles is to raise the percentage of ethanol in gasoline and the fact that most engines cannot work or last with what would be new standards. Poor science and progressivism at work.<br />There are a number of alternatives that could have been utilized that did not entail the use of food stuffs for fuel so it still comes down to the kind of mind that would even consider it given the damage to humanity. One might be forgiven thinking that those who would do this have little or no use for other human beings.<br />Anything of any real value has a gross preponderance of positive in its favor and ethanol is not one of those things. It is one of the reasons I have little respect for the Left and feminists. No matter how much they talk about caring and the lives of others they do not value it for anyone other than themselves.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.com
