Ethanol,Illegal-Immigration?

Exactly. Funny how when ethanol was first explored, the farmers were limited to the amount of ethanol that could be produced. It was never marketed to the general public. Now all of sudden we are to be deathly afraid of "global warming" and ethanol is the only solution. Call me a skeptic, but someone at the top is going to make a killing off of this, and it isn't going to be the little man. Food prices will escalate along with ethanol being less efficient as far as fuel usage, new vehicles will have to be purchased....sounds like good idea to me NOT!

 

I read in the papers that the US has a $0.54 import duty per gallon
for imported eathanol.

Brazil is the big producer of this chemical.

when Bush was in Brazil this week the Brazilians were wishing to
open this market to Brazilian, sugar-derrived, eathanol.

Farm state legislators in The US want to keep Brazilian eathanol out.

Corn isn't efficient enough for ethanol. Notice Bush hugging up to Brazil last week?

Sugarcane is much more viable for ethanol. But it's going to be intresting whether the agricultural lobby in the US will make that possible. Either way I don't see this having a significant enough effect on the price of corn for the stock to become unviable for food. Mexicos agriculture market is fairly diverse.

 

At the age of 2 I was brought into the United States by my parents I don't know what they were thinking but I suppose it was for the better of the family,I was the oldest,my mom was pregnant and when It was time to give birth she rushed back to mexico and had my brother there,when she had my other 2 siblings she just went ahead and had them here but,my dad did legalize himself and paid taxes and no he did not take jobs from others he created his own he opened up his own buisness and we had a good life,little did he know he would be killed before he would legalize me and my brother,he died when I was 14 I married a us citizen at the age of 18 but I already had children by him when we got married,It has been hard getting my papers fixed because my husband is the one who works and because its his way of keeping me in the relationship,I do not work not only because I am a stay at home mother and don't really need the money but because I respect the law and don't want to break it and for all those people out there who say I am already breaking the law by being here I say you know what It wasn't my choice to come here,I was only a toddler,and If I had it my way I would of stayed behind atleast I wouldn't be a person with no country,if I chose to go back to mexico I'd lose my kids to him,and i also would not be allowed to work in Mexico because I never attended school there,I went to school here all my life.I think that new Illegal aliens should think of what effects this will cause to their children in the long run.I for one have a good life but I am not happy.And yes I pay taxes like everyone else not from money I make but from his,when the year rolls around my name is still on the property tax statement.

 

Actually it doesnt have to be used for ethanol - you fill a diesel engine with vegetable oil in the fuel tank and you can run it with no modification

also in europe they run big juggernauts on a fuel extracted from wine that isnt good enough for human consumption
