The only practical way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is with nuclear power.

[Fungi]

“greenhouse gas emissions.” Wrong premise. Water vapor is responsible for 99% of “greenhouse gas emissions.” This is not about the environment, it is about control and taxation, and not necessarily in that order.

Everything liberals do turns out to be a mistake. There's a simple reason for this.

Liberals are at war with reality. People who learn to understand and deal with reality, and who become skilled at handling reality, can in most cases make a pretty good living as a direct result of practice.

As time goes on, they get better and better at handling some aspect of the real world, and they make more money, and use the techniques they've learned to control reality over a larger and larger sphere of influence. This is called "scaling," and Capitalism is the best system ever found for scaling things that work, and for automatically directing scarce resources to those who have the best talent for scaling. Those people consequently make lots of money and become "rich."

Liberals reject all that. They don't think that those who show a talent for scaling should necessarily get the most resources, and they certainly don't think those people have any right to become rich.

That's why they constantly put people in charge of things that they know nothing about. In fact, in their world, the less you know about a subject, the more you are suited to be the boss of people who do know about the subject; the experts aren't "objective" about their fields, which is a bad thing to Liberals.

This is why they constantly screw up, and when they do screw up they become the source of an endless stream of excuses, rationalizations and complaints about unfairness and conspiracies.

We knew this in the ‘70s.

Getting rid of Big Ethanol is an admirable pursuit.

However, Big Environment, Big Agriculture and Big Oil will fight tooth and nail to prolong this sham. They want a return on the billions they have invested.

Perhaps Trump will be interested in seeking this?

I always thought that ethanol was a corny idea.

Biofuel...garbage ruining engines...

The Climate Agenda is about the NWO power grab.

“Our new study takes a fresh look at this question. We examined crop data to evaluate whether enough CO2 was absorbed on farmland to balance out the CO2 emitted when biofuels are burned. It turns out that once all the emissions associated with growing feedstock crops and manufacturing biofuel are factored in, biofuels actually increase CO2 emissions rather than reducing them.”

So does ethanol production: one ton of CO2 is given off for every ton of fermented ethanol just from the fermentation itself. Now add in the fossil fuel it takes to plant, fertilize, irrigate, and harvest the corn, dry it and then heat the corn slurry to enzymatically convert the starches to sugars for fermentation, there’s a BIG net CO2 output compared to just using all of that fossil fuel to start with to directly power our engines.

Like we have been saying all along! It requires more energy to make ethanol than it provides as a finished product!

The only solution is pixie dust and unicorn farts!
