[Rhodes22-list] Corn - More Politics - real reply

Brad,
To the best of my knowledge, I am the only Rhodie that burns E-85 in his  
vehicle. In fact, I will go out of my way to find a station that sells it.
The corn bi-products of making ethanol are completely recyclable as  
livestock feed. Burning ethanol does not put as much pollution into the air as  
gasoline when burned. Yes, there is still 15% gasoline in it, but that's only to  
prevent some redneck alcoholic from drinking something that is 100 pure  ethanol.
I would rather pay the farmers and the ethanol manufacturers a fair market  
price than to line the pockets of some Arab Sheik. Add the cost of wars and  
cleaning up oil pollution and I still say that ethanol is a bargain. We have a  
lot more land available that could be growing corn or any other plant that 
could  be used to make ethanol. Brazil is a good example. Even though they have 
oil  reserves and refineries, they burn almost exclusively, ethanol, made from 
sugar  cane.
 
Rummy
