Ethanol Craze

[Xavier_Onassis]

bagasse is the heat source but what about the machines ?

Any machine that can run on petroleum can run on ethanol, natural gas or propane. Electrical engines can run on elkectricity generated in a large number of ways.

at the moment the rate of return mightbe very low to use those resources.
meaning. if you completely cutoff petrol from production .
you`ll might not be able to produce viable amount of feul for a profit.

It is not impossible we could be in that situation sometime in the future.

Waht will we do if forced to give up oil?

It is optional right now , when will there be no choice?

maybe we need like a research town
located in a isolated area to testbed all these alternatives.
it would help encounter most problems

like bio-sphere.
but I think bio-sphere failed
those folks were starving
