Think Ethanol Is A Safe Alternative Fuel? Think Again

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!. Biofuels have achieved a great deal of popularity but that is mainly because the politicians have been pushing it hard along with the media. . 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 content changes depending on the season. 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.
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 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. 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 – all because of the demand for 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” . Wow! It is almost as if it was all designed that way with malice aforethought by the rich and the elite.
By 2030, the world population is predicted to rise to such a high level that we are going to have to supplement food production 50% between now and then just to keep up. By 2080, food production would have to double. But the urgent movement to biofuels - allegedly good for the environment - translates in reality to a reallocation of fertile land to growing food for energy purposes.
The increase in demand has already reflected by the significant rise in the prices of fundamental crops, including wheat, over the past two years.
Biofuels have been heralded as a solution for lowering the greenhouse fuel emissions pumped out by fossil fuels however recent investigations have questioned how much benefit that they might have when all elements of the equation, such as 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 farmers to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been found to cause roughly 18% of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions and many experts consider the practice of eliminating forest land in order to grow crops for biofuel to be misguided at best.
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 offering information at a low price which car owners can use in their garage or wherever to build a small device which infuses hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
The process makes bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine uses as fuel. So the system is able to use much more of the gas.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to increase your fuel economy by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those molecules "musta" been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can increase your fuel economy.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
