You May Be Misinformed About Ethanol – Here Are The Facts

By: GARKO

As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it's important for the public to know why biofuels aren't the answer to solving global warming. 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. 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 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. 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.
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. 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? 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, 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.
In the next 20 years or so, the world population is predicted to shoot up to such a degree that we would need to supplement food production by half between now and then just to keep up. In 70 years based on current projections, food production would need to double. But the urgent movement to biofuels - supposedly good for the environment - means that an increasing amount of farm land had been reallocated to fuel instead of food.
The rise in demand has already reflected by the significant rise in the prices of basic crops, including wheat, over the past two years.
Biofuels have been suggested as a handling for lowering the greenhouse fuel emissions released by fossil fuels however recent investigations have questioned their impact 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 levelled to allow farmers to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been estimated to account for approximately 18 percent of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions and many experts consider the practice of wiping out 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.
So here is the real solution!
WATER4GAS is providing information for a nominal fee which people can use in their garage or wherever to create a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car or truck runs on.
What this does is make smaller particles out of the particles that the engine burns as fuel. Therefore it gets to use a lot more of the fuel.
By doing this you can reasonably expect to improve your MPG by 30-50% or even more. Those molecules must have been pretty darn huge in some engines before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can improve your MPG.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over 9000 individuals already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
