  • Are We at the Bottom of the Ethanol Barrel?
    @Tim Plaehn. "The U.S. is steadily moving to a point were all gas is 10% ethanol. The economics just make too much sense. "
    Helloo?? numerous studies have shown that producing ethanol based fuel from corn is an almost negative process from a net-energy balance point of view. in other words: vast resources spent to gain next to nothing
    second: the process consumes water to an extent that it becomes unsustainable and /or unviable. communities and citizens will soon find out that they pay for the "economically viable" ethanol nonsense with higher water prices as ethanol plants consume vast amounts of water
    third: food demand worldwide will rise further, crowding out ethanol plants's demand from the market
    fourth: the whole thing is ethically obscene, to put it mildly

  • Are We at the Bottom of the Ethanol Barrel?
    stock prices won't tell you about the "future" of this dead-born industry until after it happened. and you don't need to look at them for a clue anyway

    ethanol-biofuel based on corn is one of the silliest projects ever. billions of taxpayer's money are being wasted to essentially buy votes from farmers.
    you know what? the global food stocks are running so tight - and will only get tighter over the coming years, that ethanol producers will have a hard time getting corn at all - at least not at prices they could afford.

    btw, WATER will be the final nailin the coffin. You need plenty of water - which in turn is going to be one of the scarcest and most valuable resources on earth going forward. and at least it will be costing much more than today.
    the sonner these idiotic ethanol-bio-fuel nonsense gets abandoned, the better for everyone.
    farmers won't starve anyway - demand for grain will rise even without corn being wasted on ethanol fuel production.
    a quarter or two of upside suprises, o.k. fine. a nice exit chance for remaining shareholders, i'd say.

  • It's Now 'Official': Ethanol Is a Scam
    face it there are NO easy and convenient solutions to a very complex problem that mankind (not just americans) have built up over many decades. I do NOT advocate returning to cavemen-like lifestyle. However, severe and lasting cutback on energy consumption by private households, industry and govt is a must. NOW! And yes, it requires efforts and money and some sacrifices along the way. It requires not only cars taht use less fuel but it requires to use cars uch much less than is currently done. The same applies to airconditioning refrigerators, COMPUTERS! (ya know, the internet online gamers allover the world, for instance, use up tremendous energy. the internet itself is expected to use as much energy 23 years from now as the entire world population uses TODAY!) mankind has to learn and to understand that yes, there is a limit to growth and to satisfying eeach and every wish! 6 billion people (and rising) simply CANNOT have todays lifestyle of the leading world economies. It's about sacrifice, about cutting back, getting humble and find a different approach to living than ever-accelerating growth of each and everything. Or else we are all doomed. It's a very simple mathematical equation, actually, though solving the problems is complex and will take time and every dollar spent for subsidising idiotic non-solutions such as growing crops for fuel is a valuable dollar less for real solutions.
