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. 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 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. .
The real problems with Ethanol follow… Biofuels such as E85 are causing food shortages globally. 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 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, the price of corn has jumped significantly - around 30% already this year – all because of the demand for 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 Get ready to be gouged even more as Hatians are eating mud cookies because they can't afford corn and residents of Kenya are rioting over food.
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, 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 expected to shoot up to such an extent that we are going to have to supplement food production by half between now and then just to keep up. By 2080, food production would need to double. But the urgent movement to biofuels - supposedly good for the environment - means that an increasing amount of agricultural land had been reallocated to fuel rather than food.
The increase in demand has been reflected by the substantial increase in the prices of fundamental commodities, including wheat, since 2005.
Biofuels have been heralded as a handling for reducing the toxic gas emissions pumped out by fossil fuels however recent studies have been skeptical of how much benefit that they might have when all aspects, such as the use of fertilizers 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 estimated to cause roughly 18 percent of world greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists consider the practice of eliminating forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be misguided at best.
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 providing information at a low price which consumers can use at home to build a small device which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the particles that the system uses as fuel. Therefore it gets to use a lot more of it.
With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to improve your MPG by 30-50% or significantly more. Those molecules must have been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can improve your MPG.
It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner.
This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
