While the hysteria continues to mount about global warming all sorts of “solutions” are being advanced and some are more harmful than others and some are even more harmful than fossil fuels!. Biofuels have achieved a great deal of popularity but that is mainly because the politicians have been pushing it hard along with the media. . The most prevalent variety of biofuel is Ethanol made from corn and combined with gasoline into something called E85, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. However, the gasoline and ethanol content changes depending on the season. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol. The fact that E85 needs 15-30% gasoline in the mixture is not the major problem, that factor is really not such a big deal. If everyone was using E85 and the use of gasoline got cut by 70% that would be a tremendous advantage. . The real problems with Ethanol follow… Biofuels such as E85 are causing food shortages globally. The problems are rather fascinating Corn is the primary food base from which ethanol is derived. Since corn is grown and harvested by farmers, there is a finite amount of land that can be used to produce corn. The demand for the corn crop has grown substantially due to the push for biofuels while the supply has struggled to keep up. Corn is more profitable to grow now due to the increased demand, so those in agriculture are growing more corn at the sacrifice of wheat and soy. Instead of a shortage in one staple crop, corn, there is now a shortage in two additional food staples: wheat and soy. This brings on three new sets of problems: lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor. Don’t think that this is just affecting poor people though. If you eat food then it affects YOU. Just as higher oil prices have caused the price of goods to increase due to higher transportation costs, the price of corn has jumped significantly - around 30% already this year – all because of the demand for biofuels. What is odd about all this is that the environmentalists, who are politically situated on the far left for the most part, have always been chastised as “bleeding hearts” because of their desire to help all the underprivileged at the expense of hard working middle class people and also the wealthy, like modern day Robin Hood.s Get ready to be gouged even more as Hatians are eating mud cookies because they can't afford corn and residents of Kenya are rioting over food. With food prices causing the poor to become even more destitute, you can count on more tax dollars being pulled from your paycheck to cover the cost. Wow! It is almost as if it was all designed that way with malice aforethought by the rich and the elite. By 2030, the total population of Earth is predicted to rise to such a degree that a fifty percent increase in food production will be needed. By 2080, food production would need to double. But the rush to biofuels - allegedly environmentally friendly - means that an increasing amount of arable land had been given over to fuel rather than food. The increase in demand has been causative of the substantial rise in the prices of basic commodities, including wheat, over the past two years. Biofuels have been put forward as a handling for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions released by fossil fuels but recent studies have questioned how much benefit that they might have when all aspects, such as the use of pesticides and such on the crops, aretaken into account. Critics have been angered by the rapid destruction of tropical rainforests, which have been cleared to allow farmers to grow biofuel crops. Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been estimated to cause about 18 percent of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions and many experts consider the practice of eliminating forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be misguided at best. With ethanol costing about the same as gasoline, there are two possible scenarios ahead of us. If those of us that are educated about ethanol choose not to buy the product because of the side-effects, maybe the decreased demand will help food prices to drop. Unfortunately, ethanol is a government-subsidized product and they can pump more dollars into lowering the price further, which will spark interest in the new fuel and increase demand. It's a no-win situation for the informed consumer. Our only hope is that global warming is truly found to be a hoax so we can go back living normal lives without fear of potentially starving our neighbors every time we fill up. Unless there is a third alternative. So here is the real solution! WATER4GAS is providing information for a nominal fee which car owners can use in their garage or wherever to build a small gizmo which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their car runs on. The process makes bite sized particles out of the particles that the engine uses as fuel. Therefore the system is able to use a lot more of the gas. With WATER4GAS you can reasonably expect to lower your gasoline consumption by thirty to fifty percent or even more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty "blankin'" big in some engines before. But with W4G they are made consumable so you can lower your gasoline consumption. It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner. This information has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND individuals already and happy members number about 99%! So how about you?
