Butanol: The fuel that could be the end of Ethanol - Fortune Tech
I hope they think this through better than they did ethanol, and could we please have our farmers go back to
non bioengineered food growing and leave the gasoline additives to the energy companies?
Old Way Farmer: food
Now Farmer: food + energy/ethanol and make more money and have better financial security
looks like there's no going back.
strange, I think it's great for diesel engines to burn any oil Mother Nature can make, but the introduction of
ethanol to the small and medium gasoline engine industries has been a catastrophe to the consumer.
so if we can drive on flax oil, marvelous.
Just seems the consumption of gasoline represents such a huge revenue opportunity for so many parasitical
government and industry opportunists that what we put in our tanks is a more of a political/revenue football than
a reasonable consumer product.
So does anyone have the scoop on Butanol? It might improve mpg, but at the expense of emissions? Wondering what the trade off is.
Sounds suspiciously like lighter fuel. Always wanted to shoot flames out the pipes...
