Phew.
> In a similar vein, E85, a non-carbon neutral gasoline substitute made from 85 percent corn-based ethanol
Ethanol is not:
1. A clean fuel
2. A carbon neutral fuel
3. A carbon negative fuel
4. A cheap fuel
5. An effective fuel
6. A responsible fuel
It takes a tremendous amount of fossil fuel to make ethanol. We're better off just burning the fossil fuel.
- elzbardico 5y agoPlease, consider that the world is more than the US and that other countries have successful ethanol programs that are not the American corn scam
- exabrial 5y agoThere are no efficient ethanol operations both financially and carbon wise. Even it the best case scenarios, it results in a break even in many years of the future but at a major loss of habitat. Corn is a huge problem, but there are literally no crops that solve the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpEB6hCpIGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpEB6hCpIGM
