methanol versus ethanol
Even Fidel Castro knows what a mistake it is to use human food crops to create bio-fuel. Ethanol is a real hazard to cars, whereas methanol, wood alcohol, is much more car friendly. Methanol is a byproduct of charcoal making, or, through pyrolysis, almost any biomass waste (scrap woods and stalks are best) can easily be cracked to return a large percentage of the suns energy which was used to grow it.
The reason for all the smoke and mirrors? HEMP is the number one crop possibility for Methanol, and the petro shills have all the idiot mommies of the world freaking out over the possibility their little darlings might catch a buzz from the evil weed when they grow up; better to be legal according to the crown, and drink yourself into oblivion or drive drunk, according to most scared mommies anyway, or better, just say no to sex drugs and rock n roll altogether. The scared mommies are truly idiots because they do not have the wherewithal to investigate, they take what they get and like it.
It is estimated that only 20 million acres planted in hemp would serve our total gasoline needs. Rudolph (?) Diesel INVENTED the diesel engine to burn an excess of hemp seed oil, pure, which a relative was growing and could not use. Then Mr. Diesel died a very strange death. The best book is Jack Herers THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES.
Do not buy into the lies of the propaganda PR media, fuel from cereals is bound to fail and they know it, they want the alternatives to their oil to fail, see? They also like to create starvation, and that is in the plan with ethanol too.
