Solar Panel Cleaning Costs
E85 Fact or Fiction The new fuel or not?
I have been building ethanol plants for the last 6 years. I like the thought of ethanol as a new fuel source. The feed for animals is better than before it was turned to ethanol. I really only see one problem with this that needs to be solved.
You really only see a 15% increase by making this fuel. The problem being that it takes energy to make energy. This is a common problem with all new renewable energy sources. Gas pump it, refine it, distribute it. Solar panels high cost to make, Low return. Hydrogen (Forget it) way to costly to produce, great for the enviroment though. My dad has told me about the first self sustaining plant that will feed cows and the methane produced will power the ethanol plant if this works it is a new very clean power source. Ideas and thoughts about this subject. sorry about the spelling
Although I admire all the effort going into finding a realistic alternative fuel, I’m pretty sure E85 isn’t it. It’s not an efficient fuel to produce or use. The MPG is significantly lower, so it will take a horde more E85 to run all of America’s automobiles than the gasoline it currently takes, which means people will also be paying more.
Hydrogen not only costs way too much to produce, but in most cases it’s NOT enviro-friendly because of the methods used to get the hydrogen to its “fuel” state. The fuel itself is enviro-friendly, but the production process is horrible. At least at the moment.
The primary problems with all these supposed alternative fuels (to gasoline) are the production process, distribution method, and efficiency. Most people who fall in love with a “clean” alternative fuel don’t bother to check the process used to make that fuel. Often, the production process is very “dirty”.
I hope someone solves the issues, but I also hope Americans realize that the current alternatives are not real solutions.
