ethanol

And if we feel ethanol is really necessary we only need 8% of the total corn crop leaving 32% for corn ethanol.

If it weren't for widespread ethanol consumption and acute cascading organ failure, it wouldn't really even be important.

A friend of mine worked at a bioenergy outfit working on cellulosic ethanol and that was the pervading opinion.

Corn based ethanol no longer uses more energy than it creates; that threshold was reached years ago.

There are, of course, indirect subsidies through the beef and ethanol industries, but that gets more complex.

You also need to consider the energy required to produce the fertilizer/pesticides, transport the ethanol, etc.

And so is corn products through ethanol, which is legally mandated to be in fuel at 10% for no good reason.

Hydrogen goes boom, and ethanol is already straining the corn market to the limits.

The only reason for corn based ethanol is to subsidize certain farmers.

If they reduced their consumption to that of the next decile, total ethanol sales would fall by 60 percent.[1] We tried banning alcohol sales.

As far as the effects go, ethanol is a dumb drug.

A shot of 40 proof booze is 14 of grams ethanol.

I know many people who would characterize ethanol as an "addictive, harmful drug".
