Just wanted to know about the $30 to change a car to e85 I would like to know please.I am in the process of going green on everything i can cars,house heat etc... With a small budget its going slow.
Ya that was kinda the point why should it be illegal when ya can use it for so much? Hemp must be mated w/ to get the bud and if it was grown such as we grow corn, it would not be worth smoking. Pot grows wild all across this country, so why is it illegal?
If it is bad it is good and if it is good then it is Bad, makes it confusing to live!
I have a hard time beleiving most of the numbers listed in the Global Public Media recording. It sounded like an advertisement by Exxon. Ethanol = bad, buy our oil. Sure, Ethanol has its drawbacks. I wish GM, Exxon, California, and the Federal Government hadn't squaished the EV1. But E85 is better than E10 for the environment in the long term. We can't burn fossil fuels forever.
But speaking of solar, here's a comparison of sugarcane (i.e. The most energy effecient biofuel source we got, double the theoretical value of cellulosic)
Sugar cane is 100x worse than solar panels.

And thats just 22% effeciency.
Solar thermal troughs can get as high as 50% efficiency.

Can also roll out 6-10% effeciency panels like they were newspaper.
I'm a pirate too!!!!

E85 good fuel, I have been using it for many months. Keeps the money within the USA.

You can buy a kit. Do a web search for e85.

O kay so if we want "GREEN" why are we not using Hemp, clothes, oil, fuel, paper, shampoo, rope +++++
Any one know hmmmm maybe not so profitable for a government that has no business being in Big business

Isn't it illegal? Not that I agree with it's legal status. Apparently Henry Ford grew it on his estate to make methanol as a fuel.

That said, it's not like electric cars are some faraway dream.

Well here's a few more incase you're interested.

Frankly, I'd rather be driving on Coal Electricity than E85.
Since frankly, they emit about the same per mile.

Or basically follow the logic.
E85 = Diesel

Diesel <= Hybrid

Coal Electric = Hybrid

My house runs on renewable energy. Episode I was about green electricity:
youtube. com/ watch?v=odOMiV9Yz1Y
We had electric vehicles already from GM and Toyota. They killed them though (with the help of Exxon and the Federal Government).
I'll probably discuss electric cars in the next episode. I was planning on discussing solar power, but I'll take this as a request!

Well Solar is great and all.
But I figure, as things are right now, half the grid is powered by coal.
And assuming we used the exact grid we have right now, we could power 84% of the US car fleet if it were electric with offhours electricity.

Also when the batteries wear down 1/5th they aren't any good for transportation.
But they still got 4/5th's battery life for grid to grid electricity storage.
