Ethanol: Simple

It seems that every alternative fuel we have in hand gets knocked, while theoretical sources are surrounded by apologists. Here's one crazy idea, which, by comparison, makes ethanol look like a natural.

@polos505 The U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Energy report a net energy balance for ethanol production of 1.67. For every one unit of energy used to produce ethanol and its co- products, 1.67 units of energy result. The U.S Department of Energy reports that gasoline refining actually has a negative energy balance and that every unit of energy expended in gasoline production results in just 0.79 units of energy in the form of gasoline. are you accusing them of lying?

Why don't you use ethanol? You only need two gallons of gasoline to produce one gallon. You do not have to worry about the rise of food prices due to the use of corn in the production of ethanol. HAAAAAAAAAaa ethanol is joke.

What don't you grow Sugarcane Ethanol instead of Corn Ethanol ? With sugarcane you will get up to 3000 gallons per acre and with corn just 600 gallons...Plus with corn you will need 3 gallons of water to make on corn gallon. Sugarcane just rainwater in a State such as Florida or even Alabama. Grow in Puerto Rico and other U.S Islands and that's it !!!
