Re: [FairfieldLife] Angry with the oil companies?
Ethanol is so simple and cheap to make. I made some a while back out of apple juice. I t took 24 hours to ferment the juice with a little yeast and a heating pad. This creates 10 percent alcohol which I then distilled, separated from the juice through a pipe stuck out the top of the bottle and heated. What came out were drops of 95 percent ethanol which burned a beautiful blue flame when Iignited it. Objection: But the cost of apple juice and the electricity to make it was higher than the end product. Answer: If you use cheap corn or sugar cane and ferment and distill the product with solar, it costs almost nothing to produce. The advantage of ethanol is that it burns clean without the sludge found from petroleum, so the engine remains clean and the only by-product is carbon dioxide, consumed by plants. What many people don't know is that a number of cars being produced even now can run on 80 percent ethanol. These cars are called 'Flex Cars' and are on the roads right now!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Angry with the oil companies?
Good point. The end product of fermentation is a yeast-molasses, very nutritious, high in protein which can be used as a food source or to keep fermenting the brew. A large portion of the land can be set aside for the production of cheap hybrid corn for fuel as it is now by farmers producing ethanol mixed with gasoline and the rest of the land to porduce organic MMY food!

Let the price go up to $7.00 a gallon! Ha-ha! It will only be then that people will start to use less and dump their gas-guzzling SUVs. And, most importantly, we can get around to developing alternative fuels. Can't do it without the $7.00 a gallon price... I would like to see a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. I don't mind the price of gas going up if it is from taxes to improve roadways, bridges and make mass transit more ubiquitous. And those taxes should not be golden goose for gouging contractors either and they should ONLY be used for transportation projects. The scariest thing is to see some mindless woman aiming her Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator while blathering on her cellphone. I think we should make thought vehicles require truck licensing and take away the tax break on them.
