Ethanol is STUPID!
WELL, at least, if you make Methanol from FOOD, Ethanol is STUPID!
If we made ethanol from sugar, it would make a bit more sense, in that it would be much easier and more efficient to produce.
If we made ethanol from grass or some NON FOOD product, it would make mores sense.
Using food is expensive.
Using food is inflationary.
Ethanol fuels have very low energy, very low power production, compared to gasoline.
Ethanol does virtually NOTHING for legitimate “environmental” concerns.
Ethanol also does very little to reduce carbon dioxide, but that is not at all a goal any of us should care about.
Ethanol is a scam, a waste of tax payer dollars, and a politically driven issue with no common sense behind it.
