Why won't the government try and impliment the fuel ethanol for US consumption!?

bacause BUSH OWNS THE OIL IN TEXAS...I think we should be looking at how much the gas "went up" over the world...I bet it hasn't and we are the only ones who are dealing with this...It is NOT the oil companies from iraq or overseas...it is from right here in the USA!!

I have a very detailed research report about Ethanol that I can email you. (Make sure you include your email address when you first contact me)\n\nI get hundred of emails daily.\nPlease include the word "ETHANOL" in the subject.

It won't be there, and there is no satisfactory alternative.  Biofuels are a fantasy.  Try running your car on wind, coal or nuclear power.  \n\nGone is gone.  It's like money in the bank.  After you spend it all, there ain't no more.

The have.  It is called ethanol, and you can get it from corn, hay, or other nearly-infinitely renewable sources.\n\nIt is just not as popular, yet.

The argument is that if the price of oil is high enough we will turn to alternative energy sources, one of which is ethanol, made from agricultural products, primarily grain. This demand for high-priced fuel will raise the price of grain, which is also used for making bread.

Repeal, or Alter the Clinton/Gore EPA-OBD II Law. This Law Mandates that all Gasoline Powered Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present must Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. Any Deviation from that , and the Vehicle will Fail Inspection. Even if Emissions are Lowered, and Fuel Economy is Improved, Failure! And the Vehicle will be Illegal to Operate! I've found a way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. 100 Parts of Air, to 1 Part of Fuel. 50 + MPG, with even the Largest SUV! See, all Petroleum is the same, on a Molecular Level. Only the Dispersal is Altered. I'm not the First, only the Latest. I've been to the US Patent Office to Check Out the "Myth" about Vapor Fuel Units that have been Bought Out, and kept off the Market. Guess What? It's for Real! Case in Point, the Pogue Carburetor. It is Patented with a Claim of 100 MPG, with a Flathead Ford Engine Powered Vehicle, that with a Conventional Fuel System got 15 MPG!And this was before WW II ! So, there's really no Point in even trying to Patent a Vapor Fuel System. It's always Stopped Cold! And Now, with the Clinton/Gore EPA-OBD II Law, it's Pointless to even Try! Watch the Process, the Next Time Your Car is Inspected!" Big Brother" has Won! Now, if I am Wrong, then how is it that Engines DO Run on Bottled Propane? That Requires a Large, Expensive, Cumbersome Tank, Expensive Tank to Engine Metering Equipment, and the Added Hassle of Specialized Refueling! Even with Gas at $3.00 per Gallon, it's just not worth It! My System is Safe, Compact, and uses Low Pressure Air to Do It's Thing. It all Fits very Neatly under the Hood. But again, it's Illegal because the Vehicle must Conform to Original Gov't Mandated Spec's, 14.7 to 1 ! I can understand why a Vehicle should be Required to Pass an Inspection to Limit Excessive Emissions. But, to "Outlaw" a Vehicle for not Emitting Enough Pollution? This is Insane! My Environmental Project Proposal for Today would be to Change this Insane Law!

Retrofitting Older Model Year Carbureted Vehicles to get 50 Plus Miles Per Gallon With My Gasoline to Propane Converter, and then Donating Them to The Meals On Wheels Program , The Disabled American Veterans, Homeless Shelters, Etc. It can Only be A Hypothetical Dream Because By Law All Vehicles From 1996 To The Present Are Required to Run At 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. I've found A Way To Change That To 100 Parts Of Air to 1 Part of Fuel! But It Will Never be Marketed! I've Been to The US Patent Office, and Witnessed Firsthand How All Similar Units have been Kept off the Market, so don't even go There!And Now, with the EPA OBD II Law, That will never Change! If I'm Wrong, then how is it that Engines DO Run on Large, Expensive, Cumbersome Propane Tanks that are a Hassle to Set Up, and Refill? Petroleum, on a Molecular level is all the Same. It's only the Dispersal that's Different! My Hypothetical Dream Job, which will never Happen,,would be to Disprove Once and for all the Almighty 14.7 to 1 Air to Fuel Ratio, Reduce  Dependency on Imported Oil, and Reduce Air Pollution Caused by Vehicles!

Damn right. I recieve emails all the time regarding how the Americans actually beleive what comes out fo their TV sets. Finally they are experiencing the cost of car fuel the rest of the world has experinced for years! It's amazing how such a large country, who really genuinely believes it is the 'keeper' of the world, can have such a weakened economy, despite make fuel cheaper for years.\nWhen Bush finally agrees to discuss this issue, it will be too late. Do you wanna be an American Idiot? - Even your own pop stars write lyrics about how stupid you are.\nI realise that the power of these issues is a little out of about 50% of the populations' hands, however, 50% of you (roughly) did vote for Bush, and therefore the BLOOD is on your hands!!

it is supplied by business who sell it to individuals.\n\nhowever, ethanol is subsidized by the governement to make more people buy it. that is they tax ethanol less than regular gas.\n\ncheers

How about a project about fuel ethanol.  Ethanol being used as a fuel is a hot topic right now.  With all the problems with oil, Bush has passed a lot of energy bills to support research on making ethanol. Its cheaper than regular gas and safer for the enviroment.  Good luck :)

The leading company in the field is Archer Daniels Midland (ADM).  Yes, it might be a good investment if they can get real financial support from Washington.  Unfortunately, Congress and the White House can't screw a bottle cap on when it comes to energy policy.  The good news is that GM is making more cars that run on the E-85 alternative fuel, and higher gas prices are likely to chase car buyers toward those kinds of cars.  The ultimate problem right now with E-85 is supply.  They just can't make enough of it to supply the country from coast to coast.  It's a speculative play based on whether you feel that the government is likely to act or not.

Ethanol is not the answer for raising gas prices. They produce it as a cleaner burning fuel. It all deals with the theory of global warming. I don't buy it, but that is the reasoning they use for it.

havnt you seend the little stickers at the gas pump that says "May contain up to 10% Ethonal" that is where it is coming from. A few years ago no one was interested in the stuff since it was SO expensive (i think it was like 2.50 a gallon) now that gas has caught up lots of americans are flipping the bird to OPEC and saying lets at least give our high gas cost to american farmers and not some terrorist supporting mid east country.\n\nAlso isnt that what all new GM vehicles are able to run on?

I would very much like to Contribute to the Well Being of Society but by Law I am not Allowed at this Point. I've come up with a way to Convert Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. All Petroleum is essentially the same, on a Molecular Level. It's only the Dispersal that's Altered.What this would do to Benefit Society would be to signifigantly lessen Dependency on Petroleum, and at least Slow Down Global Warming. Granted, that Issue is Debatable, but Air Pollution is not. As to the Law , all Vehicles made from 1996 to the Present are Required to Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.That's the OBD II EPA Mandate.No Changes are Allowed, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered! My Gasoline to Propane Converter is Set for 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel, just like Propane, but with even more Engine Power. Engines Run Best on Vapor, not 14.7 to 1 Atomized Liquid Fuel. If This is not so, then how is it that Engines DO run on Large, Cumbersome, Expensive Propane Tank Cylinders? Again, there is no Molecular Difference, only the Dispersal.I've been to the US Patent Office and Looked at other Units that have been kept off the Market, so don't even go There ! See, Money has $topped it every Time ! I'd very much like to fix up a whole Fleet of Vehicles, and Donate Them to the Meals on Wheels Program, and keep them Insured, and Fueled Up. There are Plenty of Good People that want to Help, but with Gas. going back to $3 per Gallon, it gets Expensive ! Also, there are Military Veterans Assistance Services that get no Government Funding. We All Owe Them so very much.They often need Transportation for Medical Care. And there are so Many other charitable Organizations that could use a Hand-Up, not a Hand Out. You want Some Numbers? 50 + MPG, with even the Largest Gasoline Powered SUV's Hybirds? On the Highway, the Gasoline Engine has to Run, Plus, the Expense, and Weight of the Batteries.To sum Up, I'd like to do More for the Well Being of Society if I could be Allowed to do so. Greed, Big Oil, and the EPA have Stopped it Cold!

The answer to your second question is bananas, covered in oil.  Bush has already stated that America has to be less dependent upon foreign oil but he didn't go any further.  Any other president would have suggested that the American government would sink billions immediately into wind,solar, nuclear and alternative sources of alcohol based fuels to lessen the dependency.  But since Bush and his buddies are all oil guys he had to figure out who was the most important, his friends or your fuel bills.  Hey his friends need to heat their homes too so he picked them.

What scares me worse is that our country seems to be unable and unwilling to do the work needed to find alternatives to oil.  We are unable to change our lifestyle because we seem to feel it is owed to us.  You will not see anyone in Europe driving a Hummer, or any SUV.  They  have always been more conservation minded.

You can convert your current vehicle to be able to take E 85 gas for about $75 to $150.  This is a far better solution than to have all Americans go out and throw away their perfectly good running automobiles and spend their hard earned money on a overpriced Hybrid.\n\nE85 is also not made with just corn it can be made with just about anything that will burn, and it is not using the actual corn it is using the stalks of the corn and converting them to a liquid so the farmers would be able to make money off the corn itself and the leftover stalks to make the fuel.  In Brazil they use Sugar but you could use wood or other crops that are grown.\n\nE85 gas mileage is lower than that of regular gas and you will see about a 25% drop in gas mileage but E85 is only 15% gasoline meaning that each car that converts over would use 1/4 of the gas as they do now. \n\nThe biggest problem with converting over to E85 is that the infrastructure needs to be built this includes building refineries, and converting over gas stations to offer both kinds of fuel.\n\noverall we can convert our energy dependence to the US in a matter of 3-5 years but we just need someone in the government to start making it happen.\n\nIf we make this a priority the price of ethanol could probably be sold for about 1/2 the price of regular gas and would create home based jobs in the US and keep our money home.
