As the myth around global warming begins to unravel and Operation Desperation sets in, it's important for the public to know why biofuels aren't the answer to solving global warming. 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 common biofuel is a blend of gasoline 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. This brings on three new sets of problems: lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor.
If you eat anything, you're not immune to the skyrocketing food prices. Just as higher oil prices have caused the price of goods to increase due to higher transportation costs, the price of corn has jumped significantly - around 30% already this year ? due to the push of biofuels. What is odd about all this is that the environmentalists, who are politically situated on the far left for the most part, have always been chastised as ?bleeding hearts? because of their desire to help all the underprivileged at the expense of hard working middle class people and also the wealthy, like modern day Robin Hood.s Get ready to be gouged even more as Hatians are eating mud cookies because they can't afford corn and residents of Kenya are rioting over food.
While the price of food continues to skyrocket which makes it even harder for the poor people of the world to get any decent nutrition, you can count on more tax dollars being pulled from your paycheck to cover the cost. If I was inclined towards conspiracy theories I would think that perhaps this was all being done on purpose.
In the next 20 years or so, the total population of Earth is expected to rise to such a degree that a 50 percent increase in food production will be needed. By 2080, it would have to double. But the urgent movement to biofuels - allegedly environmentally friendly - means that an increasing amount of farm land had been reallocated to fuel rather than food.
The increase in demand has been causative of the significant rise in the prices of fundamental crops, including wheat, over the past two years.
Biofuels have been promoted as a means of lowering the toxic fuel emissions released by fossil fuels however recent investigations have questioned their impact when all aspects, for instance the use of fertilizers on the crops, aretaken into account. Critics have been angered by the rapid destruction of tropical rainforests, which have been cleared to allow farmers to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been calculated to cause approximately 18 percent of Earth's greenhouse gas emissions and many environmentalists consider the concept of eliminating forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be simply crazy.
With ethanol costing about the same as gasoline, there are two possible scenarios ahead of us. If those of us that are educated about ethanol choose not to buy the product because of the side-effects, maybe the decreased demand will help food prices to drop.
Unfortunately, ethanol is a government-subsidized product and they can pump more dollars into lowering the price further, which will spark interest in the new fuel and increase demand. It's a no-win situation for the informed consumer. Our only hope is that global warming is truly found to be a hoax so we can go back living normal lives without fear of potentially starving our neighbors every time we fill up. Unless there is a third alternative.
But here is something that IS happening right now and getting results!
is providing information at a low price which consumers can use in their garage or wherever to put together a small device which infuses hydrogen into the fuel/air mixture that their vehicle runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the engine burns as fuel. Therefore the system gets to use a lot more of the fuel.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to increase your gas performance by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those goblets must have been pretty "blankin'" big in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can increase your gas performance.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
