tvnacman.blogspot.com/With a barrel of oil at $40 over $2 a gallon for gas seems high. We hat for we need the Corn crap in it anymore for. John I agree wholeheartedly. (steps on up to the soap box) Corn is for consumption mostly as a food product be it human or livestock. Besides, as a fuel or fuel additive, corn poses a net loss in efficiency for production and a gain in ultimate carbon impact. (which is a ridiculous notion because the premise for it is all wrong, false and utterly unnecessary.) To show that: It takes fuel (carbon product) to produce fertilizer, herbicides & insecticides, make containers for it, transport it and apply it. The corn itself needs carbon products (fuel & oil) to plow the fields, spread the seed, irrigate, cultivate, harvest, store, transport to processor for conversion to ethanol and all the fuel required to do that process, then store the ethanol, transport to the fuel processor, process it there then store and transport the ethanol/gasoline mix to distributors. Whereas with petroleum/gas, you drive the truck up to the field drill/pump to pick up the oil/gas, haul it to the processor, process it, store then transport to distributors. That is far fewer carbon producing steps. Nature itself has done all the work of gathering the components to make the material to be processed when using gas & oil as the product to make fuel. Even better if you had pipe lines. Basically one time cost to make components and then to build it, lower cost to maintain and transport gas & oil through the pipes to the processor than other methods. Safer too!!! The corn, as intended for fuel/fuel additive is to keep subsidized farmers farming and to appease global warming lunatics and put $$$ into the pockets of money grubbing industrialists/investors and govt. scammers (who also use the false premise of global climate change as a political weapon). And to answer your question about why do we need it in our gasoline, now that the price of oil is dropping: We don't. And we never did need it for that in the first place. (steps off the soap box)... and NO, I wasn't wearing a tin-foil hat either... Don't need one when explaining the truth. |
