TAKING AWAY ETHANOL FUEL

Dianne Feinstien & Pat Toomey have introduced a bill to take the mandated ETHANOL out of GASOLINE.

BAD MOVE.

We should be upping the about of ETHANOL in the mix.

Start paying attention to the SMELL OF OUR AIR.

It has been demonized for messing with the CORN market.

Most any plant can be used to make ETHANOL.

If we don't want to mess with American Corn Market, we can use other plants to make it, or buy it from other countries,

Brasil, Norway use it now.

The Washington politicians are not working in our best interest on this issue.

BIG DIRTY DOLLARS ARE AT WORK HERE.

What I really don't like is them playing on peoples ignorance.

Ignorance does not mean you are stupid, it just means you don't know.

Even little microbes can make ETHANOL.

It would have been a good intermediate fuel until we can do H2 & EV.

ETHANOL FUEL BY COUNTRY

ALL GAS SHOULD NOW BE E85 OR BETTER

All vehicles sold in the US as gasoline powered vehicles should be able to use any mix of gasoline and ethanol.

NOW AND FOREVER.

In the article below that author talks solely about American CORN crops as the sole source for ETHANOL.

ETHANOL can be made from a wide variety of sources, including CANE SUGAR and many others.

BRASIL uses CANE SUGAR to make their ETHANOL.

AFRICAN countries use the CASSAVA (Tapioca) PLANT to make ETHANOL.

Grapes, Grains, Potatoes, Molasses, Horseradish, Sugar Beets, Fruits, Oats, etc....

Cow waste ... yep!

All kinds of dying, rotting things...

We can buy the ETHANOL on the global marketplace like we do oil.

We can buy the source materials  from the global marketplace and make SOME OF IT ourselves.

The source materials can be from a large variety of plants and algae.

The State of Wisconsin exports ETHANOL to CANADA.
---
Saying that vehicles today cannot run on ETHANOL is not correct.
---
The ETHANOL part of the mix should NOT BE TAXED or REVERSE TAXED to make it a better deal than GASOLINE.

The more the ETHANOL the cheaper the FUEL.

We should do this until H2 and pure ELECTRIC vehicles are well established.

The CASSAVA (Tapioca)plant is used in other parts of the world to produce, ETHANOL.

From the left overs they make livestock feed and bricks for houses.

DIRTY FUEL

DIRTY FUEL = DIRTY EXHAUST

All the time I lived in Detroit, knowing that a *REAL* Detroit Auto Guy would not mince words when it came to issues critical to the well being of the Detroit Auto Business,  wondered why they NEVER PUBLICLY COMPLAINED about the type of fuel their vehicles were FORCED to use.

If you start with a dirty fuel it is going to be difficult to make the burn clean.

Autos started using ELECTRICITY and ALCOHOL as their fuel. They were moved to gasoline later.
---
I know BIG OIL had their men on the board of directors of the big three, they were obviously controlling the situation. The big 3 guys should be ashamed of this.
---
Now they are saying how great it is that America can control the fossil fuel situation using DIRTY techniques of getting fossil fuels out of the ground in North America.

1. TAR SANDS
2. OIL SHALE
3. LIQUID COAL

Just when we are trying to get away from dirty fuel, they have found DIRTY WAYS to get the DIRTY FUEL!

I can not believe that I have never heard ONE DETROIT MOTOR EXEC say this on/in the news.

Maybe they did, but as a Joe Schmoe growing up in Detroit I do not recall it.

They should have been screaming it loudly and continuously!

It was/is NOT THE CARS/CAR COMPANIES FAULT!

Dirty fuel will burn DIRTY!
