Study Shows Ethanol Energy Efficiency Is Growing

Wow, you oil supporters came out in forco against the fact that "ethanol efficiency is improving."

Subby, are you short ethanol or do you have a vested interest in big oil?

Mexico does not have the oil to sell.

Our oil use is down because the price went through the roof.

Ethanol replaced around 6 billion gallons of oil.

Dear Sub,

What is the $ value of American jobs created by the ethanol industry compared to buying oil from terrorist?

Sub,

What are you talking about. My point was: Farm subsidies/price supports kept corn prices below $2.95/bushel for years. (years 2000-2007) If ethanol raises corn prices, it saves us tax dollars we would have spent on farm supports.

14 billion bushels of corn per year with an average support cost of 50 cents per bushel is more than this years ethanol subsidy.

Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil

262900,

E30 is as effecient as gasoline, ane you will soon be able to buy it at a station near you. that is what the article was about.

I never said there was a free lunch. Are you suggesting we stop growing this "non food grade corn?" If we do we have nothing to feed our cows and chickens.

Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil

Dear Sub,

If I buy E30 I have no reduction in, "how far it can move a vehicle," therefore I use 30% less gasoline.

This article points out the big breakthrough in ethanol marketing. No wonder the shorts and ethanol bashers came out in mass. If I can buy E30 and get the same mileage, pay 30 cents a gallon less, send less money to the terrorist, and create less pollution, I will do it every time.

Dear Sub,

Do you know the difference between potential energy and realized energy?

Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil

Dear Sub-Eye,

Methanol is a known carcinigen and poisons the ground water. You cannot substitute it for Ethanol without getting your butt kicked in court. MTBE would have made the Asbestos judgments look small if the oil companies had continued using it.

You can't be concerned about the "Dead Zone" and worry about the food supply! Pick one.

Ethanol Will Become a Fad Without Government Intervention

Dear Conrad,

How did you receive enough credibility to get your picture attached to your opinions? Politicians crying 'the sky is falling' is neither news nore prudent energy policy. Ethanol has very little to do with the price of food. Please explain how ethanol made the price of apples go up. Diesel fuel increases made the price of apples go up! Increased health care cost of every company and person that handled that apple made that apple more expensive. Farmers sell corn for 11 cents per pound. that is after the price of everything they use to grow the stuff has gone up in price.

I would like to know who you work for. If you are just a paid basher, we have the right to know. What are your credentials?

Trader T. you need to do more research. Please qoute sources when making claims. Please compare those claims against the cost and pollution caused by alternative fuels such as oil and coal.
