As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it's important for the public to know why biofuels aren't the answer to solving global warming. Biofuel, as you probably know or can guess from the name, is any energy source derived from living organisms of any kind. The most common biofuel is a blend of gasoline called E85, and this is a mixture in a ratio of 15:85 gasoline:ethanol. But the actual ratio is subject to change due to the outside temperatrue and it might be better named E70-85. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol.
The need for gasoline then, would drop by 70% or more and that would be a tremendous advantagenot as good as having no more need for gasoline, but better than what we have right now for sure. So that is not the problem with Ethanol, particulary.
Here are some real problems with Ethanol The shift to biofuels is causing a global food shortage beyond the usual. The series of bad results from the decision to use ethanol as alternative fuel are fascinating, almost like a Rube Goldberg invention gone horribly wrong. Corn is the primary food base from which ethanol is derived. Since corn is grown and harvested by farmers, there is a finite amount of land that can be used to produce corn. The demand for the corn crop has grown substantially due to the push for biofuels while the supply has struggled to keep up. Corn is more profitable to grow now due to the increased demand, so those in agriculture are growing more corn at the sacrifice of wheat and soy. Instead of a shortage in one staple crop, corn, there is now a shortage in two additional food staples: wheat and soy. This brings on three new sets of problems: lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor.
Also, where do you get the land from to grow the additional demand of corn? This is where it gets really bad for environmentalists. Remember the early days of global warming when all it took to save the world was to plant a few trees? As if every day was Arbor Day, everyone was told that the solution was to just plant more trees and that was the main message being pushed from the green people and even corporations were including it as part of their public relations and marketing that they were helping the cause, planting trees, etc. Now the tree-hugging philosophy may fail as more land is needed to produce corn - and that land will have to come from deforestation. Millions of carbon dioxide-breathing trees may meet their end as the demand for biofuels increases over the coming years and decades. And a recent study found that converting land to use for biofuel crops worsens global warming. Buy a gallon, kill a tree. Critics have been angered by the rapid destruction of tropical rainforests, which have been levelled to allow growers to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest land has been estimated to account for about 18 percent of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions and many environmentalists view the practice of eliminating forest land in order to grow crops for biofuel to be insane.
So lets forget about a future economy based on Ethanol from corn. If it were to happen it would be an ecological disaster!
But here is something that IS happening right now!
WATER4GAS is providing information at a low price which consumers can use at home to put together a small device which instills hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size it gets to use much more of the gas.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to improve your fuel economy by 30-50% or significantly more. Those particles must have been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can improve your fuel economy.
It also helps make emissions substantially cleaner.
