Quote from Noc:
Nothing that most who are following ethanol don't already know. Brazil has turned to ethanol (from sugar cane) some 15 years ago and using flex fuel auto's. The US is learnig from them and is usng corn. Also the US is studying the cellulose method to produce ethanol. The piece didn't label it as a strong buy thats a conclusion you'll have to make on your own.
But there is a lot you do not know.
US is not learning from Brazil at all, in fact, US has zero intention learning anything from Brazil when that info is already known. Only reason Brazil went for ethanol is because it can be made from sugar and for Brazil, sugar is like beach sand. Ethanol is not a logical solution, stop using propaganda for your research and check out a variety of studies that show the efficiency of corn & wheat ethanol comparable to the current administration's fiscal discipline.
Sugar is more efficient than corn for ethanol, so one would think that US would at least try sugar also, let alone focus on other actually efficient & logical sources. Unfortunately the game is USA is whose lobbyist is more powerful. The winner?
ADM, ladies & gentleman, please give it up for the biggest scumbag of the bunch. ADM is the big time winner of enourmous corn ethanol subsidies courtesy of the American taxpayers.
I've said it before, the ethanol hype in US is a big scam. That's why I would be careful with it. Although if I had the choice, I would go with the big money that makes the rules aka big time corporates like ADM. What's funny is that ADM has little plans to expand their ethanol operations while they are more than happy to accept all the subsidies. Talk about things that make you go "HMMMM".
P.S. Some research on Brazil and ethanol would also yield contoversial conclusions. Although I do commend their effort and respect it. They did start decades ago when most other sources were not logical yet.
