Ethanol Is Dead: How You Can Still Profit From It

Corn ethanol is being wasted when it is put into gas tanks! It should be used only for drinking purposes. The human body can better tolerate alcohol than can an internal combustion engine and its inherent parts (plastics, Teflons, rubber, etc.) Alcohol tends to absorb water and promotes corrosion.

Since it has to be trucked, much fuel is consumed transporting it to its final destination, and it requires a lot of fuel and water to grow the crop and distill it to its final form. In addition, fuel containing alcohol provides 15% to 20% lower gas mileage.

I refuse to use it in my vehicles, as I don't want some damn fool politician telling me how to run my life.

Are We at the Bottom of the Ethanol Barrel?

Just what happens to the "green house gas, carbon dioxide, that is generated by the fermentation process of making grain alcohol?

Have the idiots taken this into consideration? "Greenie weenies" should be hung up to dry in the hot sun (solar energy) to mature so their think process will be enhanced! All of the ethanol generated would be put to better use if the environmentalists and politicians would just drink about 2 gallons per day and quit dreaming up crap that gives us unintended consequences.

Viva Big Oil! Exxon is entitled to make less than 9% net profits based on revenue, as are the other large oil companies. The ten largest Western oil companies (Exxon, Chevron -Phillips, B.P., Shell, Etc., control less that 5% of the world's oil reserves. Just how could they control oil prices?

The Case Against Ethanol

The "greenie-weenie" idiots that promote "plug in" electric cars conveniently overlook the fact that there has to be an energy source to generate the electricity. Coal is the cheapest of the abundant sources, then natural gas is the cleanest. Hydopower requires water and damns, whereas wind turbines are not generating electricity when the wind subsides, normally during during peak electrical usage periods. Then there is geo-thermal, but it is limited to areas of geo-thermal activity. And of course, the anti-nukers would object to the most feasible way to generate electricity for the foreseeable future.

Of all the best possible solutions, we can bet the fools in "Big" government will promote the most expensive and least effective way
to try to solve our energy needs. Only the free market can do this if it is given the chance to do so without stupid regulations.
