Ethanol, corn, switchgrass, and sugar cane
The U.S. government is requiring ethanol to be mixed with gasoline. Traditionally ethanol has been made with corn. Now some nations (Brazil) are using sugar cane to make ethanol. Now advocates are urging the use of switchgrass to make fuel (ethanol). The problem with using an agricultural product to make or supplement fuel, it that it takes farm land out of the food supply chain. Thus causing the price of agricultural products and live stock to rise. Meaning while the cost of fuel is rising so is the price of the food on your table. While we are sacrificing our farm land to produce fuel, we are leaving in the ground and offshore 400 year supply of oil untouched. This is because the environmentalist, the Democratic Party, and stupid Republicans, all are allowing this nonsense to...

Pitfalls of Ethanol Fuel
Please keep all comments and debates civil, no vulgarities, ECT...
While I think that ethanol has some very limited potential as a fuel it's far from practical at this time and is questionable if it could be with such high populations and automotive usage.
One of the follies of ethanol is that it produces a lot of smog emissions.
The major pitfall is that it takes a lot energy to take the raw materials of agriculture and convert them into a burnable ethanol. It's one of the problems with producing hydrogen also, unless you take a shortcut and produce hydrogen from petroleum, that doesn't take as much energy or cost as much; but it hardly weans us off of petroleum.
Not only does burning ethanol produced more smog than petroleum, since it requires so much energy to process ethanol, the...

Increase of Ethanol Production Really Raising Price of Food?
As a replacement for gasoline in automobiles, ethanol is touted by the President and Congress as a solution to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. But as ethanol production has risen this year, so has the price of corn, the primary grain used today to produce ethanol. That has many people blaming ethanol for the rise in food prices.
A box of corn flakes only has a nickel's worth of corn. What impacts consumer food prices far more than the price of corn is the energy, the marketing, the packaging, everything else that goes into bringing a box of corn flakes into grocery stores. In fact, studies show that the price of gasoline has more than twice the impact on consumer food prices than does the price of grain.
All automobiles are capable of running on fuel that is 10% ethanol and 90%...

Ethanol - Making Fuel From Corn
Depleting fuel resources has been a major issue for Americans for some time. To help cope with raising oil and gasoline prices, americans are taking a closer look at home-grown sources for fuel. Ethanol is a fast growing solution, with already thousands of gas stations across the country offering drivers 10% ethanol blend fuel and more than 600 stations offering 85% ethanol. Siemens Automation technologies helpthe producers of ethanol to create the product more efficiently. Interviews with David Vandergriend, ICM, David Meyer, Siemens Energy and Automation, Ron Fagen, Fagen Inc, David Reisz, farmer. Additional soundbites from Becky Constant, Amaizing Energy, Board of Directors and Eugene Gochenour, farmer.

Re: Myth: Corn Ethanol is Great - Home Production of Alcohol
Plans: http://mysite.verizon.net/~vyrax/charles803plans.pdf
Simple rebuttal to the media making blatant statements and leaving out key *facts* they conveniently forget to include. Which is all to common..
Yes, it is true. People are making their own fuel and this is going to become the norm in the near future.
Question is, do you have what it takes?
Original Description:
"From ABC 20/20 Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity with John Stossel, Myth #1 Ethanol is Great"
You would basically use your garbage to make ethanol fuel, ever more reducing your carbon footprint on the world. Somehow that is a bad thing? Get real..
