Sorry, a-Musings readers, for not posting on the last 2 days. I was wanting to play a few online games instead! Anyway, here's my first topic, ethanol.
Ethanol, the biofuel made from corn (in the US, in other countries they also use sugarcane) and petroleum, is better for our earth than gasoline/petrol. However, is it better than other alternatives? I think not! For starters, ethanol (or at least E85) still has gasoline in it. Also, ethanol made from corn is skyrocketing prices of nearly everything! (Corn syrup, very unhealthy, is found in almost every manufactured food product.) Here's a better use for ethanol: A stepping stone! While better alternative fuels are developed, such as electric (go Tesla Roadster
!) or hydrogen, ethanol could be powering many engines.Image from:
