Converting food to fuel is unbelievably stupid.

The process is a acid-catalyzed hydration of ethene, represented by the chemical equation:

C2H4 + H2O → C2H5OH

Just damn... Let me guess. You don't make a living stocking shelves at WalMart :)

If enough people would call their congressmen with that demand, maybe we could.

They've all probably blocked my email addy by now. That's just for illegal immigrants. Guess I could keep trying, though. Wish we could just fire them...

True dat. I got two degrees back in the sixties, one in internal combustion engine design and the other in mechanical engineering. I worked about 35 years as a research engineer, project engineer, product development engineer, senior yahda yahda... Been retired for a while now and am just enjoying the heck out of life. Since the internet took hold I've become a virtual world traveler and lifetime science fiction/fantasy fan

Tell me, is it true that Spotted Owl tastes like chicken?

Regards,
GtG

Here in Indiana, it’s generally recognized that the switch to ethanol was the result of Divine Intervention.

LOL, Spotted Owl probably tastes more like duck or pheasant. Chicken is domesticated :-D

I figured that you had college degrees in sciences. I can’t wrap my brain around fractions or geometry. However, I did learn basic algebra in community college. The internet can be a wonderful tool. I’ve learned a lot, and met many fine people online, especially here on FR.

Hey, my bf wants to know if you designed any cool engines? Hot rods, technical designs, horsepower mods? He’s a closet FReeper :)

I spent the productive years of my life cooking, washing clothes, and chasing four kids. Now I’m just picking up after my son and my bf.
