How To Avert The Ethanol Disaster

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 prevalent variety of biofuel is Ethanol made from corn and combined with gasoline into something called E85, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. But the actual ratio is subject to change due to the outside temperatrue and it might be better named E70-85. During the Winter months you need more gasoline in 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 series of bad results from the decision to use ethanol as alternative fuel are fascinating, almost like a Rube Goldberg invention gone horribly wrong. 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.
Anyone walking around in a human body needs food and that means that this situation affects you directly. You know that the price of food has increased partially due to the increase in the price of diesel which is used in the trucks that transport it, right? In the same fashion, the price of corn has jumped significantly - around 30% already this year – due to the push of biofuels. What is odd about all this is that the environmentalists, who are politically situated on the far left for the most part, have always been chastised as “bleeding hearts” because of their desire to help all the underprivileged at the expense of hard working middle class people and also the wealthy, like modern day Robin Hood.s The biofuel solution, pushed hard by the same folks is hurting the poor, hungry, underprivileged people of the world the most.
With food prices causing the poor to become even more destitute, you can count on more tax dollars being pulled from your paycheck to cover the cost. If I was inclined towards conspiracy theories I would think that perhaps this was all being done on purpose.
By 2030, the total population of Earth is projected to increase to such a degree that a fifty percent increase in food production would be needed. By 2080, it would have to double. But the urgent movement to biofuels - allegedly environmentally friendly - means that an increasing amount of farm land had been reallocated to fuel instead of food.
Predictably, the greater demand has been reflected by the substantial increase in the prices of basic crops, especially wheat, over the past two years.
Biofuels have been promoted as a solution for lowering the greenhouse fuel emissions released by fossil fuels but recent research have questioned how much benefit that they might have when all factors, such as the use of fertilizers on the crops, areconsidered. Critics have been angered by the loss of tropical rainforests, which have been cleared to allow farms to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been estimated to cause approximately 18% of world greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists consider the idea of tearing down forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be simply crazy.
There are basically three alternatives to us. One is to boycott ethanol. Another is to expose global warming as the hoax that it is and there is great progress on this front, even today. And the other is something else entirely.
But here is something that IS happening right now and getting results!
WATER4GAS is sharing information at a low price which individuals can use at home to create a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size it is able to use a lot more of the gas.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to increase your gasoline mileage by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those particles must have been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can increase your gasoline mileage.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
