market in gas guzzling trucks and refine it with expensive natural gas or
coal fired processing equipment and the process itself produces high levels
of carbon monoxide, as well as what are known as Volatile Organic Compounds
or VOCs. VOCs included formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, both of which are
known to cause cancer in animals.
Also, vehicles that use ethanol are marginally less fuel efficient that
those who run regular gasoline, though I don't think this particular aspect
of it would stop me, personally, if it was a dollar less per gallon.
The economics have changed now due to the fact that we no longer have the
refining capacity in this country or the oil production capability to keep
gas cheap any more and even if we started right now, we are 10 years
out........so now agribusiness is going to get the pork in the energy
budget. It's not going to help the family farmer much at all comparatively
speaking, unless he's got enough acreage to grow *lots* of corn......in
which case he will be an evil agribusinessman.
In 1997, the GAO issued a report that concluded that the ethanol subsidy
cost the federal treasury more than $7 billion since 1979 - more than $600
million in 1995 alone." the mega-giant corporation Archer Daniels Midland
stands accused of being the recipient of this vast corporate welfare scheme.
This ain't organic corn we're talking about either so it's going to get
hosed with chemical pesticides, big time, to keep yields high and, like the
MTBE's, this will leach into the water table.
Cool huh?
