Actually, if you run pure or blended ethanol fuel past 20% in cars, you need to rebuild the motor to handle it.

 

Right now, in the Sugar plantation regions in Brazil, Ford Motor Company is already working with locals, and offering cars that can run as high as 100% ethanol, or any mix of ethanol and gasoline. The ethanol used in the local cars there is produced by the sugar refinery, as a by product of making pure sugar.

 

This isn't a new deal. US Fuels already run with 5%-10% of ethanol blended in, to make the fuel run cleaner.

 

 

The reasoning behind the US dragging its feet on alternative energy sources is due to false logic. Politicians and oil companies try saying it will cost too much to revamp the fueling stations to pump out hydrogen, natural gas, or rapid charging of batteries.

 

False logic, I dare say? Yes. Ethanol and Bio Diesel both can be pumped from current technology, without the need for revamping the whole mess. But they don't want you to know this. They WANT us hooked on oil, as the oil companies get richer, and the government collects hefty taxes from the sale of gasoline.

anyone else find it suspicious that bush used to own an oil company? He then went on to be CEO for the oil and gas company Spectrum 7, after that he was a director for the Harken Energy Corporation, infact his family has been heavily involved in the oil industry since the 50's. He also recieved 2.8m from the oil industry, 2.3m from the auto industry to support his presidential campaign (and another million from enron)

 

With so many friends in the industry I'm not suprised he didnt want to sign the kyoto protocol.

Either way how much do you expect the Democrats to do about greenhouse emissions? More? - well doing anything at all would certainly be an improvement. Enough? HAH. I'm thinking some sort of token gesture would be the order of the day.

 

While we're at it check out what the Chief Scientist of Britain has been saying about global warming (worrying stuff)...

 

Chief scientist issues global warming alert

 

THE Government's chief scientist today warned that the world is facing a temperature rise of more than 3C, causing drought and famine and threatening millions of lives.

 

Professor Sir David King said that even by the most optimistic assessments carbon dioxide levels were set to rise to double what they were at the time of the industrial revolution.

 

If no steps were taken to manage the change, few eco-systems would be able to adapt and up to 400 million people around the worlds would be a risk of hunger as between 20 million to 400 million tonnes of cereal production was lost.

 

In Britain, the main threat would come from flooding and "coastal attack" as sea levels rose.

 

Prof King warned that even if international agreement could be reached on limiting emissions, climate change was inevitable.
