Ethanol -- nectar of the gods
« on: October 22, 2012, 02:21:43 AM »
I remember a scene in the old John Wayne/Katharine Hepburn film, "Rooster Cogburn," where Cogburn, in a drunken stupor, was trap-shooting 'corn dodgers' thrown up by the Indian boy, Wolf. Hepburn's character, Miss Eula Goodnight, came upon the scene and criticized it as an example of Cogburn's drunkenness: "You're shooting your own food."

Are we not doing the same thing?

Well, what can I say: the Magic One wanted to encourage the production of fuel from corn-based ethanol.  It kept fuel prices lower.  And as an arch-capitalist that's his job.  Best of luck in the "election"

You have an interesting take on the issue. I'd love to read your explanation of how corn-based ethanol kept fuel prices lower. What is a "Che Gavaria?"

Actually, it costs more to process corn into ethanol than to pump crude to the refineries and into your gas tank. It produces less power, and to add injury to insult, it's damaging to almost all automobile engines, especially E85.

Ethanol blends are a bit cheaper at the pump around here, but it's NOT because ethanol is cheaper than gas in any direct way, it's because so many tax dollars have been sunk into ethanol production subsidies that it looks cheaper in the final consumer transaction.  It has also caused prices of foodstuffs containing corn products (Which is not just corn flour, because between corn oil, corn starch, and corn sugar is a pretty large percentage of them) to take more than any consumer gas savings has given, due to the basic facts of supply and demand in an economy of scarcity.  Hardly the policies of an arch-Capitalist, or even anyone who understands economics at all, for that matter.

Anyone who points to barry big ears as an "arch-capitalist" is a retard.  Your kind of stupid should come with a warning label.

Yeh, in my gas energy class they were talking all about ethanol. There is a study where two same mustangs were filled up with the old kind of gas and the new kind of gas.  The old kind mustang ran further and didn't waste as much gas, more mpg. 

It was disturbing everything ethanol has badly affected
