Even when you consider the amount of energy needed to produce fertilizers, operate farm equipment, transport corn, convert corn to ethanol, and distribute the final product - the energy contained in a gallon of corn ethanol is 50% more than the amount of energy needed to produce and distribute it.
The more ethanol is used on input activities, the better the ratio becomes. Ethanol isn’t going away.
And you notice no one ever talks about how much energy it takes to produce a gallon of crude oil and refine it down to something useful.
Calculate in the real pervasive damage to people’s cars and engines, and Ethanol is beyond loss, it is mega fraud.
But farm communities are exempted. They only damage city cars. LMAO!
Liberals are sooo stupid.
Total BS. You either work for Archer Daniels Midlands or you get some subsidy. Read David Pimental’s work. Oh and tell me why the farm machinery used to produce ethanol doesn’t use ethanol and the distilling equipment doesn’t burn ethanol. Unless the total process uses ethanol it’s a FRAUD and you’re blowing pink smoke.
