There are several posts about ethanol recently on ycombinator. I did not participate in them. But if you read them, you'll find out that anything based on biofuels is pure greenwashing and not serious environmental policy.

Corn based biofuels have problems yes. But they are not all of biofuels. The only pure greenwashing is hydrogen push by fossil fuel companies who wish to continue having something to do with their methane. See Germany recently with their “hydrogen-ready” boilers.

  Imagining believe biofuels are not greenwashing but believing a fuel made from water is. Seriously, fuck you. You're a brainwashed BEV fanatic. And pretty much a climate change denier given your extremist position.

    Don’t know where the flag button is but this deserves it. To end on: > a fuel made from water Except it’s currently not. And will not be made from water at anything close to the current price without major subsidies. I don’t know where to get the idea that anything I say is denying climate change. Quite the opposite. We already have proven solution that work. We don’t have time and money to waste on trying out ridiculous ideas like “hydrogen as an energy carrier”.

      Again, you are simply denying progress and the existence of cheap green energy. The reason I have issue with your posts is because they are so emphatically against green energy outside of a specific goal, that it simply must be because you are brainwashed by BEV propaganda. It is so detached from reality that it is its own form of climate change denial. It is the kind of emotionally charged delusion that lead environmentalists to tear down nuclear reactors and replace them with coal power plants, leading to more climate change.

    You see, that's the greenwashing bit. It's not made from water, it's made from fossil gas. All these schemes to increase demand aren't about making electrolysers to replace existing grey hydrogen, they're ahout selling grey hydrogen.
