Funny thing happened on the way to the White House! If you will recall, the first stop on the fixed race for the presidential election was Iowa. What Iowa contributes to the nation and the world is a LOT of corn! And some politicians can sure be corny!
It would make a healthy man ill to observe this circus of clowns who claim to be the best choice for the highest office in America come out with statements which positioned them as the longest, strongest supporter of corn derived Ethanol at the time when they were trying to win the Iowa caucus.
The issue of corn and Ethanol,specifically, in Iowa is not just another issue it is HUGE. Well sorry folks, but I say f*ck Iowa! But the politicians were not quite so honest.
As a prime example, John McCain did a flip flop that would have made an Olympic gymnast or an Oriental magician proud of their agility. Because he had said at different times that government support for ethanol actually raises gasoline prices. He has claimed ethanol does nothing to make the U.S. more energy independent. He has even questioned the science behind making fuel from corn - contending that ethanol provides less energy than the fossil fuels consumed to produce it. "Ethanol is a product that would not exist if Congress didn't create an artificial market for it. No one would be willing to buy it," McCain said in November 2003.
So how could the same man say, just prior to the Iowa Caucus,
"I support ethanol and I think it is a vital alternative energy source not only because of our dependency on foreign oil but its greenhouse gas reduction effects,"
My point? People live and die, a planet could become a thriving, abundant, bountiful paradise or a desolate wasteland, the economy flourishes or crashes largely based on the decisions that politicians make about fossil fuels and alternative energy sources.
And Ethanol is a very bad choice.
Data that I have says that the impact of Ethanol on the planet if it is ever made a large focus of our energy supply, would possibly include MORE toxic emissions and climate change, widespread hunger much worse than we have it now, skyrocketing prices of other crops and food in general and other environmental impacts that can be quite ghastly.
And the lack of responsibility by the presidential candidates who use alternative energy as just another way to sway voters in their favor would be funny if it was not potentially so tragic.
The great danger of confronting peak oil and global warming isn't that we will sit on our collective asses and do nothing while civilization collapses, but that we will plunge after "solutions" that will make our problems even worse.
But since that is the scene and the people in charge are not going to do anything sensible about it, that makes it more urgent for you and me to take responsibility. After all, it is OUR planet and it is OUR lives and there IS something that can be done about it!
While no individual can exercize great influence over the price of diesel fuel, any car owner can become cause and increase their MPG
In case you are not familiar, yes, safely extracting Hydrogen from water to produce a source of fuel is already here as a workable alternative that is available for us all. Additionally, it is not even a new technology, really; its just recently been designed better so that we can use it.
I said that I would tell you more about the Water4Gas system.
is offering information for a nominal fee which car owners can use at home to build a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
What this does is make bite sized particles out of the ones that the system burns as fuel. Therefore the system is able to use considerably more of it.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to increase your MPG by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those molecules must have been pretty darn big in some engines before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can increase your MPG.
It also helps reduce emissions significantly.
