Ethanol Redux

Here's some more info on Ethanol.

In and earlier post I said "Ethanol blended is a marketing scam, like Eminem," I was wrong...about the ethanol,

"Implementing a 5% blend of ethanol in gasoline will generate hundreds of jobs in rural Ontario, create a market for an additional 50 million bushels of corn every year and reduce greenhouse emissions by the equivalent of 200,000 cars. And it all starts on the farm." (Also your engine will last longer).

Husky Mohawk sells a 10% blend, double the above figures. To find a ethanol blended gasoline near you go here http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/fuels/ethanol/station-locations.cfm

I talked to a friend from thunder bay and he mentioned that they use it in Thunder Bay. Here's a link about a proposed ethanol plant in Ontario. By 2010 all motor fuel must contain ethanol in Ontario. Not a bad goal.

Alberta could easily bring ethanol into the picture. We have huge fields of grains, which is a perfect source of ethanol. I read that it takes 3 barrels of water to extract one barrel of oil from the oilsands. That's ridiculous. Do they know that humans can't drink oil?
