It doesn't appear we are going to Farm our way out of this, either.

The sad reality of ethanol simply not being as energy efficient as gasoline is illustrated in video clip below on the reduced gas mileage that can be expected with 10% ethanol/gasoline blends.

Idiot towards end of video thinks its all good because its better for the environment. If you have to use more of the blend to get from point A to point B, how is that good for the environment? And how is it good for the environment when you are using more acreage to grow more food in which to burn to make up the difference? Not to mention the additional energy required to produce all that extra inefficient energy.... Head. hurts.

"That's not sexy."



Gasoline: the new alternative energy.

H/T: Hot Air
