Ethanol is a Hoax
Scientists knew years ago that the amount of petrochemicals and water used for corn ethanol was energy break even at the best.
They are desperately trying to save the internal combustion engine. It provides debt for our debt based fractional banking, millions of jobs in manufacture, sales, maintenance, fuel and finance that create income taxes. The gas taxes also provide many states with abundant revenue.
The deployment of electrical vehicles will destroy all that as they are cheaper to build (-50%), maintain(-90%) and fuel(-70%). So jobs in these areas would suffer commensurate losses which means all those taxes are gone.
The entire post WWII economic model has been increased consumption and planned obsolescence.With the situation we face today that will only lead to catastrophy if we aren't there already.
