  • Why Biofuels?

    Biofuels and discussion of GHG can open a door to establishing World Government, via agreements and taxes foisted on us by the people who have done us no favors in the past.

    I personally do not think this is a good reason to have another layer of administration above us all, due to the fact that We cannot control the amount of Federal Government we have now.

    Why anyone but a Trans National Energy Giant or a Large Banking Institution would want such a mechanism like a World Government is beyond me.

    Think You would have a voice in a world Government?

    I say, lets read "Alcohol Can Be A Gas" Learn about Permaculture  and cut the subsidies to alternative energy and also the  ten to twenty times more subsidy to Big Oil.

    Let us clean up our environment by taking personal responsibility for our actions. Let's bring suit against Polluters with real evidence of damage and can the EPA that is shielding Corporate Polluters.

    As far as GHG, GW,  and CO2 goes,,,

    As R. Buckminster Fuller said, Man has used energy, in total, from day one up to 1980, 1/500,000 of our daily energy income from the sun.

    If anyone can convince a Jury that Man's contribution to GHG warming has had any damaging effect I would love to see proof.

    BTW, the sun's output has drastically fallen off this current cycle. We  might need a way to warm things up if this trend continues...

    I am far more worried about Big Oil and the pollutants left behind by drilling, refining, and release of toxic leftovers from burning waste products in our cars that we mistake is 100% Gasoline. Cancer rates are now about 1 in 3.

    Ethanol Engines are 46% efficient, while engines designed for pump gas are only 20% efficient.

    Land to make Ethanol can be empty gravel pits or even waste lands unfit to grow grass. google "Ten sections per county" There need not be any food vs. fuel debate.

    Is health, efficiency, self and local empowerment, local jobs, economy, no pesticides, and no commercial fertilizers, even increased sequestration of CO2 when Permaculture is employed a good reason to look at Ethanol?

    I think so.

  • "Ten Sections per County"

    I love reading articles that make me actually think.

    I like Permaculturist David Blume who suggest we use cattails to clean primary treated sewage to tertiary levels using carbohydrate rich cattails. If every sewage treatment plant in America was feeding cattails:

    50 Billion gallons of Ethanol net. from distillation.

    100 billion gallons (Eq.) as methane net. from biodigesters.

    Captured nitrates and phosphates, cleaner rivers, lakes, air and Oceans. 6300 acres per US County.
    Not farmland, it could be empty gravel pits, certain tailing piles from mining, run down land, flood plains, etc.

    And the left over mash from distillation should be good for fish or livestock food.
