Biofuels Suck! | ZapRoot

[craigmcdonagh1]

can i just say that ethonol85 is acctualy bad for you engine, look it up (i)

the future forward economicaly is LPG, Liquid petroleum gas, its around £1500 to get your car converted, most cars made after 98 can be converted(some even before that). and it boosts performance also. on a diesel engine the fuel is sprayed into the cylinder then the heat in the cylinder causes it to combust right? yip but before that it turns to gas. LPG allows it to combust almost instantly. works on petrols too :)

[reftri]

if you dont like,,bio-fuel alternatives,,then use,,Hydrogen gas,,or become with better options,,stugge girl

[SakoTGrimes]

I'd like to punch that attractive and grossly misinformed woman.

[aeroscope]

Great and concise effective video. Bravo...howver, i do not quite agree with you on biofuels not enthanol coz i object to the use of it. Now, the true holly grail of biofuel is obviously algae, it is the only biofuel source capable of displacing all the fuel need of our planet. So don't think about veggie oil from food crop excluding waste veggie oil to fuel your car, think algae.

[Hajemfatt]

bit confused... biofuels were bad or good? arguing for or against biofuels? I thought the idea was to rebutt the claims that biofuels were bad as given.

Weren't biofuels a cleaner alternative to regular? If not rebutting the claim, was this just news?

[flyffplaya]

it's bad because it's the reason why the food price are giogn over the roof,

flour increased by 107 % his year thanlast year becauseof thano prductoin

[RainingBullets]

well depends on where you get the biofuels. If you get them from grease which mcdonalds have plenty, then it's useful. If you are getting them from vegetables and food (which I might note that you need to survive, cars, not), it's not because it raises food prices.

[djbro16]

she didnt bash on algae bio fuel. stupid bitch

[pred178]

This chicks accent and voice are annoying

[Maldivo666]

I'm in love with this girl ♥

(I didn't paying attention to anything that she said, lol)

[PizzaguylolXD]

SLOW DOWN BITCH, YOU TALK TOO FAST!

[jflarag]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[marioCustomMade]

LOOL xD

[goose1077]

Dallas needs a mountain. Have you ever been there? That place is as flat and boring as a pancake.

[RedDaVincy]

Too goddamn bad. Wreaking environmental havoc for a couple of tourist dollars and especially a few superficial reasons is incredibly short-sighted and dangerous in the long-term. Just so you know.

[marioCustomMade]

yea but it's fun to fuck the nature up :D

just kidding, you are totally right.

[archerdarker]

Hey! Ever heard of meat? Same thing. Time to wake up sleepy heads. And hey vegetarians! Abandoning those sentient beings we call pigs, cattle, lambs, etc. doesn't solve anything. Engaging husbandry is much more compassionate. Same for biofuels. Engage the process. Don't abandon.

[Skyline559]

Wow ive been enlightened honestly i assumed that bio fuels were a good idea and could eventually revolutionize the fuel industry but thanks for the info and the the university of Minnesota and the nature conservancy yeah really that gives me reason to believe your points well dont you thing the companies that invest in bio fuels are willing doing this when they know about all this,? great video 5/5

[GingaSoulja]

your amazing! I would say slow it down a little, as you share so much very quickly, but I can just rewind it instead. I love how you share the truth! thanks.

[Ecojoao]

Congrats!!

Fabulous production.

Thks

So would it be more environmentally sound if I banged her without a condom?

A man made mountain in Dallas Texas with snow...that is crazy.

JWallBanger,

We already figured it out. Use existing excess electrical capacity at night to charge plug-in electric cars with current batteries as we develop better ones. The technology to do this is already here. We just don't want to. ("We" being customers who still think vehicle size equals penis size and builders who know we are strangliing ourselves but want to siphon off profits on bad technology until we just lose consciousness....then maybe we will change...someday soon. Honest.

[goose1077]

Vehicle size doesnt equal penis size?

[ortzinator]

for sucking so much, the Dems sure were trying hard to mandate it's use

[Axelgear2006]

That's known as industry-promoted litigation. In other words, political lobbying by big business. If they increase demand by limiting food supply, then people pay more while farmers earn even more by selling some crops to the fuel industry.

Ethanol: Biggest. Scam. Ever.

[jwallbanger]

not to mention that farmers and

industrialists currently burn about 3 gallons of

petroleum to produce 1 gallon of ethanol. ethanol production is driving up the price of gasoline more than peak oil. such a waste.

we could so easily use existing coal-to-liquid technology to replace petroluem while we figure out better energy solutions.

[KaptainKruton]

It is known that corn is a poor choice to use as a base for fuel. The only people that really want to use corn are the US farmers and the politicians supporting them. Sugar is a better choice. Something I do find amusing is that she was promoting all of those man-made vacation spots and structures. She spoke of the desert almost as if it was a bad thing and the water park was correcting it. The desert is an ecosystem. If she wants to promote 'green' ideas, fine. But she shouldn't be stupid.

[Axelgear2006]

Not to mention that, in a drought, it's illegal to run a water park. Therefore, suggesting that the water park would do anything (Any water it gains would be drawn from man-made reservoirs and not those frequented by animals) is like saying I damage nature by breathing air.

[greyflcn]

Just because sugar is better than starch doesn't mean sugar is still a good idea.

Research on making biofuel out of the bits and pieces of grain and other food related greenery has begun, and aims to enable combined food\fuel production... Tadaa!!

[supperchief]

decentralized energy would be one of the smartest ways to go. It reduces transportation and transformation cost and has the flexibility to adapt to work efficiently many locations. Plus as the technology gets updated out of date technology can be sent to third world countries for a minimal cost. Its not exasperating to implement either, other countries actually allow individuals to profit from the energy they generate. This takes the profits away from the oil firms and gives it to the people.

[jwallbanger]

biofuels made from algae are the future of biofuel. algae can produce much more fuel than corn or soy can ever produce. in fact it's estimated that once the kinks are worked out, algae can completely replace fossil fuels with a very small amount of land, even the big oil companies are starting to invest in the research. other than that, coal-to-liquid can easily replace oil at current prices, but big oil likes these prices, aND loves peak oil because we believe it and just pay the money.

SCAM!

[Axelgear2006]

Yes, but algae also primarily grows in water, the ocean especially, and is responsible for most of our oxygen production. It's really not something we want to make into a market, especially for nations with less than stringent environmental laws.

[jwallbanger]

algae biofuel is produced in tanks on land, not in the ocean. compared to the amount of arable land and fertilizer it takes to grow corn and soy for biofuel the environmental impact of algae is quite low.

[Axelgear2006]

As long as there are laws in place to only harvest it on land, no worries from me.

[greyflcn]

Algae isn't the answer either.

Just blogged this in the Big Biofuels Blog. Fuel efficiency is at the heart of the problem, you build cars that travel twice as far on a gal of gas then you only need half as much gas. US used 170 000 million gals last year, 25% of the corn crop made 5000 million gals of ethanol (about 3000 million gals of gas). This year looks like 31% of the US corn crop will go to make ethanol. Is that really sensible, need new tech and more efficient cars.

[martymefurst]

Not really a very balanced report - a lot of hysteria and no alternatives offered. Biofuels do suck, DUH! But what about dependence on foreign oil, the difficulty in exploring and transporting oil from new sources, and the enormously increased demand on oil from Asia? At least half of the cars I see from my Honda everyday are much larger than the needs of the single occupant they carry to their jobs. How about reducing demand overall by going after wasteful consumers?

[radiumrx]

thanks

[devobat]

I live in Arizona and with our water use as is, we hardly have enough in storage to fulfill our commercial and residential needs. We already have 4 water parks I doubt this next one will last.

[sandman3030]

I totally agree. WTF do we need a new water park for.

[devobat]

For all the effing snowbirds.

[henrybesmer]

could it be that biofuel technology is not as efficient as it could potentially be one day? all new technology is more expensive, or wasteful, when it is created.

[viropop]

That's a really insightful comment. Efficiency does come later to new technologies.  Hmmmmm...

[mickmorrell]

Well, it does! Take your US Gas Guzzlers and compare em to a German 3l/100km car. After all, we invented the car, and the Diesel engine and the Otto engine. Weren't so efficient in the beginning but now... go figure. But you're right, biofuels won't do it as we'd need to much land to grow em on. Good read on that subject: David Strahan - "The Last Oil Shock".

[chessboy007]

well it doesn't completely have to do with efficiency. it has to do with the fact that the amount of land required to grow the crops to provide a 100 gallons a fuel would take alot of fuel to harvest, and turning the country into bio-fuel farmland is not only environmentally bad, but a poor economic decision as well. yes with time there can be improvements, but it still is an ineffcient system on the conceptual level. we should invest time in OTHER sources of fuel not refining this one

[emidang]

hmm....that sux.

so what's the solution to car fuel?

[tmtb182]

We already HAVE the solution. Unfortunetly, it is owned by car & oil companies. Have you seen "Who killed the Electric Car?"

We have already created usable, efficient, electric vehicles!

[mickmorrell]

Yeah Dude, you just don't have enough electricity to power ALL TRANSPORT.

[cozmicparadox]

except a massive sun

[mickmorrell]

Start building then, NOW! else you'll run out of oil before you've got anywhere near enough capacity to run all your transport means on electro. FYI: Miles driven by all road vehicles in the US in 2004: 2,570,400,000,000.

[greyflcn]

==Yeah Dude, you just don't have enough electricity to power ALL TRANSPORT.==

We got enough electricity to power 87% of our existing car fleet with zero modifications

greyfalcon. net/ plugins4

And even if it comes from coal, it'd reduce emissions similar to driving a hybrid.

greyfalcon. net/ plugins7

And there's plenty of renewable energy to be had.

greyfalcon. net/ greenenergy.png

[viropop]

It is quite tragic. Take the Prius for instance. They are made with a button designed to make the car run on all electric, but strangely enough here in the USA that button has been disconnected claiming the it will void the warranty. hmmmm.

-Jessica

[kuchiewoochie]

yea!

[bonniegrrl]

yay Jess!

[chessboy007]

how about the fact that if we converted all the land in the US to bio-fuel production there still would not be enough. lol, go figure that the only alternative fuel idea that the gas and automotive companies actually support ... is worse than gas.

BTW: NO alternative fuel or energy source is able to support the whole nation. the best option that we have at the moment is location specific energy. (ex. windpower in texas, solar in nevada and arizona, etc.)

[viropop]

chessboy007 speaks the gospel!!! Amen brother!!!

[weker1]

TESTIFY!

[greyflcn]

==BTW: NO alternative fuel or energy source is able to support the whole nation==

Says who?

greyfalcon. net/ greenenergy.png

Solar Thermal with Thermal Storage, Hot Dry Rock GeoThermal, and High Altitude Wind.

Any one of those could be all we could need.

[mickmorrell]

Don't get me wrong: START BUILDING!!!!! Did you get the point that your conversion can't happen overnight?! Within the next 10 years oil prices WILL double again, from 100US now to easily over 200US in 2020. If not triple. So you've either built your high altitude wind farm to power your transportation needs - or YOU'LL WALK.

Renewables might not be built up yet, but they can certainly meet demand if we seriously wanted it.
