Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 246045" data-attributes="member: 605">What you are talking about is the Renewable Fuels Standard where government required ethanol at the pump. You feel it got crammed down your throat. Each year Congress mandates increased amounts to be used. That conjures up images of corn farmers dancing in the streets. But did you know that since 2015 those increases have been for cellulosic alcohol not corn ethanol? Cellulosic alcohol is biomass or made from straw, trees, grass. To keep the two separate think of it this way. Corn ethanol is moonshine, cellulosic is wood alcohol. If you drink cellulosic wood alcohol, you will die.Kazillionares and governments have invested billions into unlocking the mysteries of cellulosic. They are still in the research stage and believe switch grass is the answer. Trouble is they can't haul tons of biomass on trucks more than 30 miles or it gets cost prohibitive and cellulosic alcohol is very corrosive so it can't be put in a pipeline. They will figure it out.And the big one, they will need millions of acres of corn converted to switchgrass. Through government subsidies and mandates this is going to happen. Heavily invested corporations working with government want to sell you cellulosic alcohol. They will put money into their controlled opposition orgs who will carry the message. Watch for it:Another big advantage of cellulosic ethanol is that, in contrast to food-based biofuels, cultivating prairie grasses does not require fertilizers, irrigation, or pesticides. Prairie systems' massive root structures sequester carbon and propagate without tilling.</blockquote>
