I am amazed that so few words could have
so many errors in them!
Fortunately, I am not required to point
them out!

Well, I can agree with Lynn
for one thing.. Carter was 2nd worst president ever.... (After Bush
43)... :P
Ethanol in fuel was never about efficiency. NEVER. It was about
replacing a very toxic oxygenate (MTBE) with something cleaner burning and less
toxic. Lead in aviation fuel will go the same way.. its inevitable. One plant
makes the lead that goes in it. They go tits up and the 25 percent of the
aviation fleet that burns 75 percent of the leaded avgas will be knee-capped
brutally.
Biofuel is not exclusively ethanol. Its also HYDROCARBONS synthesized
or processed from living matter, as opposed to fossil fuels naturally developed
from long dead matter. Its bacteria in a digester/reactor with a feedstock and
a product stream. Ethanol is in cars to reduce smog.. nothing more. Biofuels in
aircraft do not necessarily have to include ethanol (but it could).
Ifwe dont start doing more than paying lip service to preserving our
environment, we will have the worlds best military protecting the worlds
largest ecological wasteland.
As long as we are overly dependent on fossil fuels, we will be
subject to the foreign policy of others. Biofuels, Nuclear, Solar, Wind,
Hydroelectric... all things that need to be developed further. And if we wait
until its too late to transition, our worlds best military will be reduced to
throwing rocks and writing nasty letters, because our turbine powered planes
and tanks dont run on good intentions.
Personally... if we have to burn oil... Why burn mine (ours) when I can
burn yours (theirs)..
I'm not hardly a hairy, stoned, tree hugging hippie, but I do recognize
their point..
