Energy Secretary Chu Announces Biofuel Investment

Ethanol, as the fuel of the future!!!!

You must be joking! It takes more energy to make ethanol from corn (more energy = more emissions), so in order to save the planet by burning the so called "green fuel" we would be using up more energy and emitting more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, ironic!!!!!!!

One more piece of information, Chu's previous research was based on bio-fuels, i guess hence the bias!!! There are other technologies out there that are more energy efficient and more sustainable than conversion of corn to ethanol......

Biofuel / Biodiesel

We keep talking about ethanol, no mention of bio diesel which has multiple uses. Not only in a conventional diesel engine configuration, but in a turbine config. Turbine usage varies to scale, from something that can be the power source in a hybrid, to a city sized commercial unit.

Ethanol

If it takes more than a gallon of imported oil to produce one gallon of ethanol, how will this ever cut down on our need for oil imports?

synthetic ethylene

very interesting design. The synthetic ethylene made out the coal had been introduced to Bush in 2005 by german laboratories. I hope the bailing out of the researche's credits in this area will prevent the announced genocide coming from the other agriculturals produces used for more than 5 years .

Biofuel Investment

Pretty ironic that they are pouring more taxpayer dollars down a hole in light of the report released earlier this week which shows that ethanol caused more harm to the environment then our current regular gasoline does.

When will Joe 6 pack get a tax shelter and not have to pay his taxes or does the government need to reduce thew taxes on all corporations and workers to make us competative on the clobal scene?
