Yet Another Reason To Hate Ethanol

Ethanol is good, the .gov tells us so, and everyone here knows the .gov is always right

Well on earth day in the 1970s some top loud scientists made predictions in the newspaper that we would be out of food. This means any research on food today is bullsheet.

This is just more hippie science designed to make us feel bad for being rich and awesome.

They also said in the '70's that we'd be frozen if we didn't "fix" our emissions... now it's we're gonna cook if we don't "fix" our emissions...

Learned about eth with my generator and its now missing gas tank.

I could not say enough good about how the whole sales cycle went with Myers Duren... You did't buy yours around 4:30 to 5:15 did you? We were there picking up a backrest kit for the super glide when someone rang the bell.

It was around 12:30-1:30. They must of sold a few that day because while we were there getting the royal treatment the bell was rung 2 more times by 2 different people.

And of course they don't predict how much that they think temperature will rise or give us any way to measure their reliability. Then we could look at their predictions and call them out when they're off.
It's disappointing that science hasn't progressed any in 40 years.

Climate/environmental science = politics

Both have regressed in recent times.

Politicians certainly use science and medicine for their ends, but this doesn't necessarily mean they're invalid.

If you don't have the right conclusion before the research, you don't get funding. Or if your research yields an unwanted conclusion, you lose your funding.

It doesn't matter that global temperatures remain relatively flat recently.

It's not about science - it's purely politically-motivated fear-mongering.

Many production- and survivability-enhancing chemicals that GMOs are designed to resist are claimed to have the side-effect of making the soil unsuitable for non-GMO seed.

Apparently, the weeds aren't having any issues developing resistance to Roundup.

OR we could just end subsidies and mandates for ethanol production.

We don't have time for rational solutions.
