giabaodiep☆☆☆☆☆ (6)	Albert Einstein – The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing

Currently we are using vast amounts of food as fuel which is killing at least 20 million of the world's poor a year. It is also maintaining the utter inpoverishment of the world's poorest 2 or 3 billion people. If we stop this evil the world's poorest will very quickly get richer. There will be a boom in the rate of development in the 2nd and 3rd world. This will make us in the rich world richer.

That would be something to think about, if your figures had any basis in the real world. IBdaMann wrote: "Air" is not a body in and of itself. Ergo it is not a blackbody. Planck's law describes the spectral density of electromagnetic radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature T.

Correction to your statement: Currently we are using (NOT burning efficiently) vast amounts of food as fuel......because ethanol is being incorrectly used in low compression ratio gasoline engines. To be burned efficiently, ethanol must be burned in ethanol engines. Remember these points, 1) diesel fuel works efficiently in diesel engines (tho lots of pollution), 2) ethanol works efficiently in ethanol engines, 3) gasoline works efficiently in gasoline engines. To use any of the fuels in other engines is waste, or won't or may not run other engines. Agree with your other assessments AND extend remarks. 20 million die per year..... because we use ethanol as a fuel. That is true. But compounding those 20 million deaths per year, is that ethanol DOES NOT save gasoline stocks in the long run, but uses more gasoline stocks. That is why the oil companies did NOT PROTEST TOO MUCH, when the EPA mandated ethanol dilution of our national gasoline stocks. The oil companies knew ethanol didn't perform properly in gasoline engines & WOULD USE MORE GASOLINE IN THE LONG RUN. All other environmental negatives about ethanol in gasoline are true.

Correction to your statement: Currently we are using (NOT burning efficiently) vast amounts of food as fuel......because ethanol is being incorrectly used in low compression ratio gasoline engines. To be burned efficiently, ethanol must be burned in ethanol engines. Whether we are burning it efficiently or not. It is being used as fuel (actually as the moderator for fuel). litesong wrote: Remember these points, 1) diesel fuel works efficiently in diesel engines (tho lots of pollution), Diesel engines are pretty good these days. The same thing that happened to gasoline engines happened to diesel engines. Only poorly adjusted engines put out soot. litesong wrote: 2) ethanol works efficiently in ethanol engines, No, it doesn't for the same reason is doesn't work efficiently in any engine. It's available BTU is too low, producing a colder burn. Lower temperatures mean a LESS efficient engine. litesong wrote: 3) gasoline works efficiently in gasoline engines. To use any of the fuels in other engines is waste, or won't or may not run other engines. The gasoline engine is tuned for gasoline. It can be retuned for other fuels. Remember, it's all about available BTU, not compression ratio. litesong wrote: Agree with your other assessments AND extend remarks. 20 million die per year..... because we use ethanol as a fuel.

Actually, the oil companies knew ethanol DID perform properly in gasoline engines. We've used it before. All you need to do is make sure fuel system components such as gaskets can handle the alcohol as well as the gasoline. TEL is better on gaskets and fuel system components. litesong wrote: All other environmental negatives about ethanol in gasoline are true. Such as...?

GasGuzzler ★★★★★ (2935)	You people can argue compression, efficiency, BTU's, moderators, octanes all night long. While I find it all very interesting, the one fact remains. We BURN OUR FOOD while families across the globe STARVE TO DEATH. Ethanol supporters; are you willing look another man in the eye and say, "You, your wife , and your children will go hungry, and likely die from starvation. But it's OK, because the food that would have saved you, I need to burn it so I can save the planet". Think about that for a minute.....not cool.

We're not only burning our food, we are wasting fuel to do it. It takes fuel to raise, harvest, process and ship that stuff. As far as starvation goes, ethanol is not causing it. Distribution of food is causing it. We have enough food and water, but it's not in the right place. Getting it there is the issue. Either it's shipping into a war zone, or there is no money to ship it there. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

No. Acute starvation such as in Syria is like that but the slow hunger that haunts the third world is the result of the food as fuel policy. People dying singly off camera do not make the news but they do so by the millions per year.

GasGuzzler ★★★★★ (2935)	Into the night...you worry me. Sometimes you are right on and then like a ball hit on corked bat you just gone! Distribution of food is causing starvation???!!! No money to ship it there? Eliminate all gov subsidies on ethanol and see how much food you can ship with that money. Haven't looked up the numbers but my gut says we could at least make a huge dent in world hunger and ship it to them. In other words...the US gov buys corn from the producers instead of funding ethanol. We get rid of crap fuel and feed the hungry. Win. Win.

It costs money to grow it, harvest it, process it, and get it to where it needs to be. Money is a BIG issue. Poor countries can't afford to buy their food from abroad and they have difficulty growing their own.
