The Other Side of the Ethanol Story
July 28, 2008
Backlash brewing against ethanol in United States | www.iht.com
The article describes the problems ethanol creates in gasoline such as lower energy values and deterioration of some engine and fuel components in small engines and boats. Other problems are the need for more petroleum fuels to grow the corn, harvest it, turn it into ethanol and transport that "fuel" to market, besides the fact that fertilizers are also made from hydrocarbons such as natural gas. Also, gasohol reduces some emissions but also creates others such as evaporative emissions from fuel tanks. In addition gasohol receives a 51 cent per gallon subsidy from the federal government that amounted to over $3.5 billion last year.
