Ethanol Will Become a Fad Without Government Intervention

The US spends over 1 billion dollars a day on oil imports ...

Yes you heard that correctly that's *billion* with a "b".

Ethanol Will Become a Fad Without Government Intervention

Crude oil was $8 per barrel in 1999 today it is over $120.00.

OPEC's mid-east fund made up of OPEC's countries have put US $40 Billion dollars into commodity index funds, which pushes grain prices up.

The cartel is playing us for suckers ...

Corn Ethanol Can Never Replace Meaningful Quantities of Motor Fuel

"Meanwhile, we have no food. We are starving, all the animals we eat are starving (50% of corn is animal feed), and the rest of the world is starving because we have no corn to export (if they all don't go to war with us first)."


Please ...

We the byproduct of ethanol production is distillers grains which is used as a high protein feed for those "starving" animals you cite. In 2007 we used about 25% of the corn produced for ethanol however, there was a 15% increase in corn production compared to 2006 so that means 10% of the "normal" corn stock was really used.

The rest of the world is starving - I guess you mean free food we give away to countries like Africa? To my recollection African children have been starving my entire lifetime unfortunately. Ethanol has only become a favorable scape goat recently.

Now there is talk of fantastical wars over ethanol and starving nations. Last I checked it is petrol dollars funding the enemies of the US and the real wars today are being fought over the ever depleting resource called crude oil.

Please get you facts straight before peddling propaganda about American made energy. It is getting ridiculous how there is an echo chamber of disinformation and out right lies about bio-fuels that is being spread about like wild fire like a disinformation campaign. I wonder who has a vested interest in undermining the bio-fuels industry?

Is this a concerted effort so people can feel better gassing up at $4.00 a gallon so their petrol dollars can help fund Jihad and we can pay for the rope to hang ourselves?
