“each gallon of ethanol requires energy inputs equivalent to 1 1/3 gallons of fossil fuel.”
Exactly correct. It’s not coincedence that the price of both food and oil has gone up as the ethanol mandates have kicked in. Using oil to boil the corn to make ethanol is ultra wasteful. The higher price of food and fuel is directly responsible for the riots around the world. People who live on $2 a day are getting crushed. Ethanol is racist, it kill brown and black and yellow people at a much higher rate than white people!
Dave,
“Ethanol is racist, it kill brown and black and yellow people at a much higher rate than white people!”
Precisely! Just as the BOGUS crap re. CFCs — which has nothing to do with the ozone layer but was implemented to prevent third world poor from availing themselves of LOW COST food preservation via refrigeration — so it is with the ethanol madness. BOTH plans are classic Sangeresque eugenics based genocide and dovetail with the elitist Malthusians to bring the planet’s population down to well under 6 billion and reduce those who remain to the serfs of old.
Conspiracy? WHAT CONSPIRACY???
