Farmer: Oil Barons of the Future

Posted by Trent Walters at 5:19 PM
Jeff Passmore, executive vice president of Iogen Corporation of Canada, said on Living on Earth:
"This is a flexible fuel vehicle, and those vehicles can run on anything from 100 percent gasoline, to only 15 percent gasoline, 85 percent ethanol, or any blend in between. The car doesn't care."

"[C]onventional ethanol will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 or 40 percent; cellulose ethanol, or advanced biofuels, reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 80 to 100 percent. Because of the existence of this lignin..., you don't have to import power from the grid in order to run your ethanol plant, which you do have to do with conventional ethanol."


Awhile back, I pointed to an article that discussed bio-fuels and their impossibility. Jeff Passmore is talking about reducing the parts of crops we don't eat. Two for one bonus for farmers.

And if you think biodiesel can solve it, consider:

Worse Than Fossil Fuel

In short, the cheapest form of this material is Palm Oil. Which, even for edible consumption is encouraging large amounts of rain forest to be eliminated to make way for plantations.

I have been following a site now for almost 2 years and I have found it to be both reliable and profitable. They post daily and their stock trades have been beating
the indexes easily.

Take a look at Wallstreetwinnersonline.com
