Help Us Avoid The Ethanol Disaster

By: GARKO

Whether or not you believe in global warming everyone agrees that the environment should be protected. And this article tells you where the solutions are… and aren’t! . 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 prevalent variety of biofuel is Ethanol made from corn and combined with gasoline into something called E85, and this is a mixture in a ratio of 15:85 gasoline:ethanol. However, the gasoline and ethanol is variable based upon the outside temperature so its more or less gas in the mixture depending on the time of year in most areas of the United States. 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 need for gasoline then, would drop by 70% or more and that would be a tremendous advantage…not as good as having no more need for gasoline, but better than what we have right now for sure. So that is not the problem with Ethanol, particulary.
The real problems with Ethanol follow… The shift to biofuels is causing a global food shortage beyond the usual. The problems are rather fascinating Corn is the primary food base from which ethanol is derived. Since corn is grown and harvested by farmers, there is a finite amount of land that can be used to produce corn. The demand for the corn crop has grown substantially due to the push for biofuels while the supply has struggled to keep up. Corn is more profitable to grow now due to the increased demand, so those in agriculture are growing more corn at the sacrifice of wheat and soy. Instead of a shortage in one staple crop, corn, there is now a shortage in two additional food staples: wheat and soy. As a result of that situation you end up with 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.
Anyone walking around in a human body needs food and that means that this situation affects you directly. Just as higher oil prices have caused the price of goods to increase due to higher transportation costs, what corn gets on the market has shot up unprecedentedly in the last few months - around 30% already this year – due to the push of biofuels. Isn't it the poor that our friends on the environmentally-friendly left always want to help by taking our hard-earned tax dollars and redistributing them to the needy? The biofuel solution, pushed hard by the same folks is hurting the poor, hungry, underprivileged people of the world the most.
While the price of food continues to skyrocket which makes it even harder for the poor people of the world to get any decent nutrition, the government will inevitably suck more out of our paychecks while anyone who complains about it will be hit as “unsensitive and selfish” . If I was inclined towards conspiracy theories I would think that perhaps this was all being done on purpose.
In the next 20 years or so, the world population is predicted to shoot up to such a degree that a 50 percent increase in food production would be needed. By 2080, it would have to double. But the rush to biofuels - allegedly environmentally friendly - means that an increasing amount of arable land had been reallocated to fuel rather than food.
The increase in demand has been causative of the significant rise in the prices of basic crops, including wheat, over the past two years.
Biofuels have been suggested as a means of lowering the greenhouse fuel emissions released by fossil fuels but recent studies have been skeptical of their impact when all elements of the equation, for instance the use of pesticides and such on the crops, areconsidered. Critics have been upset by the rapid destruction of tropical rainforests, which have been cleared to allow farms to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been calculated to cause about 18 percent of world greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists view the idea of wiping out forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be insane.
With ethanol costing about the same as gasoline, there are two possible scenarios ahead of us. If those of us that are educated about ethanol choose not to buy the product because of the side-effects, maybe the decreased demand will help food prices to drop.
Unfortunately, ethanol is a government-subsidized product and they can pump more dollars into lowering the price further, which will spark interest in the new fuel and increase demand. It's a no-win situation for the informed consumer. Our only hope is that global warming is truly found to be a hoax so we can go back living normal lives without fear of potentially starving our neighbors every time we fill up. Unless there is a third alternative.
So here is the real solution!
WATER4GAS is sharing information for a nominal fee which individuals can use at home to put together a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the system uses as fuel. So the system is able to use considerably more of it.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to reduce your gasoline consumption by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty darn big in some systems before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can reduce your gasoline consumption.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND people already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
