    what is bio-ethanol?

    I need some. Is it what used to be called meths?

      Bio ethanol was the Greens latest looney idea. turn food into fuel so that we dont have to use oil and therefore reduce the amount of that magic gas, CO2, into the atmosphere.

      It had the wonderful side effect of reducing the worlds food supply, which the same loonies have been gleefully predicting for decades.

      I say 'Had', because when people realised that it was food supply that was going down and not crop production, they started to wonder what was causing the gap in the middle.

      Now it is harder to find a greenie who ever thought that burning food was a good idea than it was to find a Nazi in Germany in 1946

        And what about Bormans, the Stringfellows of Asuncion.

          ok

          Now it is harder to find a greenie who ever thought that burning food was a good idea than it is to nail a jelly to the ceiling

            Ceiling-jelly could help offset the bio-fuel induced famine.

              And useful as an automatic fire extinguisher.

              When the nails melt obviously.

                I always thought that the argument for bio-ethanol was less to do with carbon emissions and more to do with oil shortages and being able to grow a renewable fuel source.

                I'm not sure that anyone argued that burning one carbon source would eliminate carbon emissions whilst burning another would not.

                    well, you thought wrong

                    carbon emissions reduced by 90%
