Did you know that Ethanol requires more energy to produce, than it ends up providing?
Ethanol may also make the air you breathe dirtier, not cleaner.
So why is Ethanol being pushed?
Well they need something to sell you once the oil runs out. The oil companies can’t make money selling wind or solar powered vehicles, but ethanol is already being sold at gas station all around the country.
If we start expanding the uses of corn to include ethanol, we need to streamline farming methods so we don’t use so much land for corn crops. I think that if we could build farms vertically rather than horizontally (ie, towers)we wouldn’t have to chop down so many forests. We need more advancements on aquaponics, too.
