It takes over 1000 gallons of water to create one gallon of ethanol. It costs $1.29 to create one gallon of it.Mike Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422535062309904007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819134478257447800.post-31290718735832592902008-06-16T21:52:00.000-06:002008-06-16T21:52:00.000-06:00Brandt,Although I appreciate your rhetoric, and ri...Brandt,<BR/>Although I appreciate your rhetoric, and ridiculous Alan Iverson clip (they really need to teach public speaking classes to pro-ball players),I think you are still missing the ethanol boat. I can tell that you don't like it, but it seems like you spent your whole novel/post on gasoline and the automobile industry, both of which are important, but they aren't ethanol. How do you feel that the US has cut half of its foreign food aid to Africa because of ethanol, or that the cost of filling one SUV tank with ethanol could feed a person for a year? What do you think about how they can produce ethanol with recycled waste, instead of corn, and they chose not to use the waste because corn was faster?Seth and Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920274609152769662noreply@blogger.com
