Ethanol the magic elixir costing taxpayers billions, destroying engines and pipelines, and now proven worse for the air than gasoline emissions seems somehow poetic.
A new study from the U of Michigan’s Energy Institute shows busting up prairie land releases excess CO2. Then cooking corn and fermenting it requires even more energy bubbling off yet more CO2 making a net INCREASE in CO2 production over gasoline.
The study also concludes: “using government mandates and subsidies to promote politically favored fuels is a waste of taxpayers’ money.”
