Lets burn Democrats for fuel instead...
Led my Chevy to the field, but tanks were dry...
Just how much more starch should most Americans have in their diets?
our cars will all be diabetic hybrids.............
A separate study by Ziska and colleagues also found that wild kudzu...
That plant is plague on many places of this nation.
Try this:
Them good ol’ boys drivin’ on whisky and rye,
This will be the day those plants die.
I’m sorry, your pellet burning stove has been declared “forbidden contraband”. It emits too much CO2 and must be destroyed in order to “save the planet” fro Global Warming. The Official Federal Disposers will be by first thing in the morning to confiscate, er, dispose of it....
I hope I hope I hope..Its KUDZU..I might be rich..got acres of the stuff...
“The disadvantages to cassava and sweet potato are higher start-up costs due primarily to increased labor at planting and harvesting times.”
We don’t need labor intensive fuel production, which would be more stoop labor in the fields. And where might such labor come from? I’m sure any corporation producing fuel from root crops would want the cheapest labor possible.
“A separate study by Ziska and colleagues also found that wild kudzuan aggressive vine species imported from Asia to control soil erosionstands in Alabama and Georgia could produce 5 to 10 tons of carbohydrate per hectare, which would rival carbohydrate production from corn and sugar cane...”
Might be a good possibility, and would be a machinery intensive crop, harvested about like hay for which it has been used.
I couldn’t agree more.This MisUse of out food supply is nothing more than a “payback”to Cargill,Archer,Daniels,Midland,and The Enviro-Wackos!The production of ethanol is actually far more environmentally than the production of oil,coal,etc. inasmuch as it requires enormous quantities of water,corn,etc.,and then it has to be transported to the refineries for blending(rather than be piped).Also,it “weakens”the power of gasoline making it less efficient.ALL of rhese problems(high fuel-prices,high food-prices and the resulting inflation)were created for us by The DemonRats!!
Kudzu, LOL! Brilliant!
What an awful graph. Where’s algae? Where’s jatropha?
Im sorry, your pellet burning stove has been declared forbidden contraband
I do not have a pellet burning stove, I was just suggesting a way to burn food. I use an old non EPA stove that smokes a lot. I an doing my part to stop the comming Ice Age.
Are those used to create ethanol?
Silly scientists, thinking that ethanol fuel is about “energy yield” or “gallons per acre” or any other quantifiable scientific parameter:
It’s all about farm subsidies for Iowa, the first state to have a presidential “caucus” - why else would the subsidies be for corn???
Congress doesn’t want subsidies for Alabama, currently a solid GOP state in Presidential elections!
I think they were concentrating on crops that can be grown in the latitudes of the main US. ......
Does anyone have any research results on switchgrass or cellulosic ethanol that they could send to these food-burning whackos?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
