Just to get that out of the alcohol stove thread, I figured I'd start this very OT-for-this-forum thread. Maybe that's not totally accurate, as Exxon would need to buy up all the wilderness so they could plant corn. We wouldn't want any of the Big 3 to lose their monopoly on something that has become such a necessity in America. 'Course, we the people here in USA, are to blame for that.

Unfortunately, the facts about most everything we hear anymore has the 'yes, but' addendum to it. Or the debate about what is correct as far as truth when two people (ususally politicians) talk about a particular thing.

I have heard, mind you my chemical knowledge is pretty ancient, that E85 is the solution to this country's (America) automotive fuel needs. YES, BUT I have also heard it costs more to make the E85, thus offsetting any advantage to using it.

It would be really beautiful if sometime, somewhere, someone would come out with definitive knowledge about something that the people could just say "oh, yeah, that makes sense" after hearing it.

 

Sorry, but in my old age, I get talkative and really would like to see us turn this world around. It's a mess. And most people never even know it unless they get out and smell the smells, and see the sights, and hear the sounds, that are just there and not manufactured.
