Okay, so the way to solve global warming is to use less carbon based fossil fuel, so to do that we are substituting ethanol. This saves the world how?
We are making ethanol by growing corn, rapeseed, whatever which of course uses CO2 and (clean) H20 as well as sunlight, converting it via a couple of semi-toxic processing steps to make a liquid which is then burned and releases the C02 back into the atmosphere, as well as the Nitrogen Oxide release, fertilizer drain off, land use issues, clean water diverted from other human use etc.. -
anyone have any statistics saying ethanol burning is less carbon spewing than oil?
I wonder, because I've got one that says different:
