Why Ethanol Would Lead To Environmental 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! . Biofuel, as you probably know or can guess from the name, is any energy source derived from living organisms of any kind. 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. 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 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 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.
If you eat anything, you're not immune to the skyrocketing food prices. 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, what corn gets on the market has shot up unprecedentedly in the last few months - 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.
With food prices causing the poor to become even more destitute, 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 total population of Earth is predicted to shoot up to such a degree that a 50 percent increase in food production would be needed. In 70 years based on current projections, it would need to double. But the rush to biofuels - supposedly environmentally friendly - translates in reality to a reallocation of farm land to growing food for energy purposes.
New higher demand has been reflected by the significant rise in the prices of fundamental commodities, especially wheat, since 2005.
Biofuels have been promoted as a solution for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions pumped out by fossil fuels but recent investigations have been skeptical of their impact when all aspects, such as the use of fertilizers on the crops, arefactored into the equation. Critics have been angered 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 estimated to account for about 18 percent of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists consider the practice of eliminating forest land in order to grow 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 providing information at a low price which folks can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small device which infuses hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car runs on.
What this does is make smaller particles out of the ones that the system uses as fuel. Because of the smaller size it is able to use a lot more of the gas.
With WATER4GAS you can minimumly expect to reduce your gasoline usage by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made usable so you can reduce your gasoline usage.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
