Whether or not you believe in global warming everyone agrees that the environment should be protected. And this article tells you where the solutions are? and aren't! . Biofuels have achieved a great deal of popularity but that is mainly because the politicians have been pushing it hard along with the media. . The most prevalent variety of biofuel is Ethanol made from corn and combined with gasoline into something called E85, and this is a mixture in a ratio of 15:85 gasoline:ethanol. But the actual ratio is subject to change due to the outside temperatrue and it might be better named E70-85. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol. The need for gasoline then, would drop by 70% or more and that would be a tremendous advantage?not as good as having no more need for gasoline, but better than what we have right now for sure. So that is not the problem with Ethanol, particulary. Here are some real problems with Ethanol The shift to biofuels is causing a global food shortage beyond the usual. The problems are rather fascinating Corn is the primary food base from which ethanol is derived. Since corn is grown and harvested by farmers, there is a finite amount of land that can be used to produce corn. The demand for the corn crop has grown substantially due to the push for biofuels while the supply has struggled to keep up. Corn is more profitable to grow now due to the increased demand, so those in agriculture are growing more corn at the sacrifice of wheat and soy. Instead of a shortage in one staple crop, corn, there is now a shortage in two additional food staples: wheat and soy. As a result of that situation you end up with problems of great magnitude in the lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor. Also, where do you get the land from to grow the additional demand of corn? This is where the whole situation goes psychotic from the viewpoint of environmentalism. Remember the early days of global warming when all it took to save the world was to plant a few trees? As if every day was Arbor Day, the environmentalists pushed their tree-hugging agenda on anyone that would listen. Trees were the cornerstone of the green movement and suddenly every major corporation prominently displayed the recycled content on their containers, proud to be a part of saving the world. Now the tree-hugging philosophy may fail as more land is needed to produce corn - and that land will have to come from deforestation. So now we are told to hell with the trees, burn them down, rape the forests and grow corn! Buy a gallon, kill a tree. Critics have been angered by the loss of tropical rainforests, which have been levelled to allow farmers to grow biofuel crops. Deforestation has been found to account for about 18 percent of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions and many scientists view the concept of wiping out forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be misguided at best. So enough about ethanol from corn as a viable alternative energy solution. If it were to happen it would be an ecological disaster! But here is something that IS happening right now! is sharing information at a low price which individuals can use at home to create a small gizmo which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their car runs on. What this does is make smaller particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. Because of the smaller size the system gets to use a lot more of the gas. By doing this you can minimumly expect to reduce your gas usage by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those molecules "musta" been pretty darn big in some systems before. But with W4G they are made usable so you can reduce your gas usage. It also helps to lower emissions significantly. This package of info has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND car owners already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
