Kettle Moraine, WI | Then the argument could be turned against ethanol because on a year round and year to year carbon sequestration on corn production versus intensive managed perennial grass or forage production. Yes. There is that time in summer where Midwest corn produces more oxygen than the Amazon rain forest, but the majority of the year, that isn't true.
Ethanol is the capture of carbon. Maybe moreso a function of atmosphere carbon dioxide levels changing upward.
Ethanol is concentrated mobile energy as it can move around easier than fixed infrastructure required for electric, natural gas, or biogas.
Where in worry that ethanol can be trapped in basic analysis as most people these days have awoken from believing what they hear so they have greater propensity to follow the numbers themselves. Ethanol got some feel goods to sell to the public use of tax dollars, but it has to stand in its own.
The other problem is ethanol can fight against other energy because most carbon sequestering, tree hugging, easy math is to drive or use energy. We have the American consumer mindset to prevent that from happening. | |
