"Producing feul for a buck a gallon is a vague stat at best given the unknown cost of labor/capital in Brazil."
vague?
what's vague!
THIS IS THE LAST TIME,
THE WORLD BANK ESTIMATES THAT IT COSTS BRAZIL A DOLLAR A GALLON TO PRODUCE ETHANOL!
that's about as DEFINITE as it gets!
gezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
They(Brazil) sell it at the pump for HALF the cost of gasoline. And that's not E85. That's pure ethanol. In Texas at today's prices, that would be 2.20 for gas and 1.10 for ethanol. That's WITH a 40 cent a gallon tax. Let's say 10 cents for the retailer, that leaves 60 cents for ethanol delivered to the pump. < The problem is the retards we have here think ethanol comes from corn. It comes from sugar, starch, cellulose, natural gas, coal, methane, cow dung and pig poop. We could outlaw corn use all together and switch to ethanol tomorrow.
For the retards here, repeat over and over.......
Ethanol can come from coal.....
