You guys should really consider going ahead and dumbing this thread down, so @MoValley John:'s mom can get a lick on it.Originally posted by wufan View PostLast edited by Kung Wu; April 23, 2016, 05:16 PM.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

I mean, I hate putting ethanol in my vehicle, but ethanol policy hugely benefited the corn industry (went from consistent surplus to bidding prices up for ethanol) and had negligible effects on the oil and gas industry.Originally posted by SB Shock View PostThe mountains are calling, and I must go.Comment

Sure it has - the Government has created a requirement that can only be filled by the corn industry, and they are subsidizing it. It also a win for the oil and gas industry also because ethanol contain less energy than normal gasoline, therefore with the decreased fuel efficiency, there is ultimately lower MPG and consumers actually use more gasoline (and at ultimately higher price). But there are several other effects:Originally posted by wsushox1 View Post
1. Ethanol is suppose to make fossil fuel more greener - but when you do the full accounting from using equipment that run on fossil fuel equipment, to the refining process - it actually not. It cost more energy to produce than it generates.
2. The ethanol industry has driven up the price of corn. If you are feed corn grower, you are golden. But if you are a consumer this means higher food prices. Ranchers who feed corn to livestock face higher costs. This then contributes to rising prices in meat, dairy and egg prices. There is also an affect of food corn now being diverted feed corn so as to produce bio-fuel, thus fueling food crises in developing countries. In 1999, 6% of corn produced went to ethanol, in 2010, that rose to ~39%, over the same period of time international corn prices increased by 300%+
3. NOAA has found that ethanol refineries are big emitters of air pollution.
4. Land conservation - land that was in government conservation programs is being broken out once more because it more profitable to the farmer for corn. Generally this land that the government puts into these program is land that is not as good and has lower yields and subject to erosion.
5. Ethanol cause problems with engines because the alcohol causes wear and absorbs water. The absorbed water reduces your octane rating of fuel and you get knock. I assume at some point, engines will eventually be engineered to handle ethanol better.
6. There was a case in 1995 (API vs EPA) where the EPA had to admit ethanol creates more smog than regular gasoline.

As a mechanic- ethanol is the devil. Diesel should be the future.People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac AsimovComment

Diesel is the only fuel that lubricates as it burns. High-sulfur diesel is the best fuel.Originally posted by SB Shock View PostPeople who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac AsimovComment
