Ethanol – A Looming Environmental Catastrophe

By: GARKO

While the hysteria continues to mount about global warming all sorts of “solutions” are being advanced and some are more harmful than others and some are even more harmful than fossil fuels!. For those that don't know, biofuels are alternative energy sources derived from living matter, as opposed to fossil fuels, such as oil, which are derived from nonliving matter. The most common biofuel is a blend of gasoline called E85, and this is a mixture in a ratio of 15:85 gasoline:ethanol. But the actual ratio is subject to change due to the outside temperatrue and it might be better named E70-85. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol.
The fact that E85 needs 15-30% gasoline in the mixture is not the major problem, that factor is really not such a big deal. If everyone was using E85 and the use of gasoline got cut by 70% that would be a tremendous advantage. .
Here are some real problems with Ethanol Biofuels such as E85 are causing food shortages globally. The problems are rather fascinating Most ethanol is derived from corn. Corn therefore has huge demand. Therefore farmers are growing more corn than wheat and soy. So now instead of having not enough corn you have not enough corn, soy and wheat… it gets worse This brings on problems of great magnitude in the lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor.
Also, where do you get the land from to grow the additional demand of corn? This is where it gets really bad for environmentalists. Remember the early days of global warming when all it took to save the world was to plant a few trees? As if every day was Arbor Day, the environmentalists pushed their tree-hugging agenda on anyone that would listen. Trees were the cornerstone of the green movement and suddenly every major corporation prominently displayed the recycled content on their containers, proud to be a part of saving the world. Now the tree-hugging philosophy may fail as more land is needed to produce corn - and that land will have to come from deforestation. So now we are told to hell with the trees, burn them down, rape the forests and grow corn! Buy a gallon, kill a tree. Critics have been angered by the loss of tropical rainforests, which have been levelled to allow growers to grow biofuel crops.
Deforestation has been found to account for about 18 percent of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists consider the practice of tearing down forest land in order to grow crops for biofuel to be simply crazy.
So enough about ethanol from corn as a viable alternative energy solution. If it were to happen it would be an ecological disaster!
So here is the real solution!
WATER4GAS is sharing information at a low price which people can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
The process makes smaller particles out of the ones that the engine uses as fuel. So it gets to use much more of the gasoline.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to lower your gasoline usage by 30-50% or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can lower your gasoline usage.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
This information has been purchased by over 9000 people already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
