Whats Worse Than Fossil Fuel? Ethanol!

By: GARKO

While the hysteria continues to mount about global warming all sorts of solutions are being advanced and some are more harmful than others and some are even more harmful than fossil fuels!. 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, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% 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 fact that E85 needs 15-30% gasoline in the mixture is not the major problem, that factor is really not such a big deal. If everyone was using E85 and the use of gasoline got cut by 70% that would be a tremendous advantage. .
The real problems with Ethanol follow 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 problems of great magnitude in the lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor.
Dont think that this is just affecting poor people though. If you eat food then it affects YOU. You know that the price of food has increased partially due to the increase in the price of diesel which is used in the trucks that transport it, right? In the same fashion, the price of corn has jumped significantly - around 30% already this year all because of the demand for biofuels. Isn't it the poor that our friends on the environmentally-friendly left always want to help by taking our hard-earned tax dollars and redistributing them to the needy? The biofuel solution, pushed hard by the same folks is hurting the poor, hungry, underprivileged people of the world the most.
While the price of food continues to skyrocket which makes it even harder for the poor people of the world to get any decent nutrition, the government will inevitably suck more out of our paychecks while anyone who complains about it will be hit as unsensitive and selfish . Wow! It is almost as if it was all designed that way with malice aforethought by the rich and the elite.
By 2030, the world population is expected to shoot up to such an extent that we are going to have to increase food production by half between now and then just to keep pace. In 70 years based on current projections, it would have to double. But the urgent movement to biofuels - supposedly environmentally friendly - translates in reality to a reapportionment of fertile land to growing food for energy purposes.
New higher demand has already causative of the significant rise in the prices of basic commodities, including wheat, since 2005.
Biofuels have been heralded as a solution for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions pumped out by fossil fuels but recent investigations have questioned how much benefit that they might have when all aspects, such as the use of fertilizers on the crops, arefactored into the equation. Critics have been upset by the loss of tropical rainforests, which have been levelled to allow farmers to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been found to cause roughly 18% of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists view the concept of tearing down forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be profoundly stupid.
There are basically three alternatives to us. One is to boycott ethanol. Another is to expose global warming as the hoax that it is and there is great progress on this front, even today. And the other is something else entirely.
So here is the real solution!
WATER4GAS is offering information for a nominal fee which individuals can use at home to put together a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
What this does is make smaller particles out of the particles that the system uses as fuel. So the system is able to use considerably more of the fuel.
With WATER4GAS you can minimumly expect to increase your fuel mileage by 30-50% or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can increase your fuel mileage.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND individuals already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
