Brazil and Ethanol

85% gas and 15% ethanol and Flex Fuel cars by Chevrolet. But oil is a brith right in the USA. The USA says there is a large demand for very hug vehicles so they build them. Same fuel economy as 20 years ago. USA keep saying fuel is no problem. If oil got $100. a gallon it would bring the USA auto industry to a stop

In Brazil 25% Ethanol in every gallon of gas and all cars are Flex cars with cmean they can run auto by sensor ethanol or gas. Brazil biggest industry is sugar cane and nothing is wasted of the crop.. sugar is producted and ethanol. Next year Brazil will be fuel independent for everything will run on ethanol. Brazil learned from the oil energy crisis in the 1970's.

It's a crisis NOW and the USA needs to move beyond our fuel dependency. GM is talking a 300 mile range fuel cell technology; but it's decade within reach.

How about making fuels from wheat stalls. Bush "American is addicted to oil". USA is years behind the rest of the world because, personally, I think the Bush dynasty is in cahoots with the Saudis. It feels to me that American is not addicted to oil; but that the Bush Dynasty is addicted to the Middle East! Ironically, the Saudis have us over a barrel; an oil barrel!

The USA would rather spend 17 billion dollars in Iraq. Bush needs to tend to his own's country's needs. Our country is being pasted up by other super powers such as Japan and China and we are beginning to look at as stubborn backwater fools.

BP only advertises that they are doing their best to reduce our independence on foreign oil; but are they really? BP used to stand for British Petroleum now they say it stands for Beyond Petroleum. Gee! British Petroleum, what ever happened to American Oil? Is anything American anymore? Amazing isn't it?

In my opinion the American auto industry must be in cahoots with the big oil companies. Maybe they just say American demands super sized vehicles. Listen, the general public is easily persuaded. The American Auto industries pushes big equates to manliness.

What slays me is how gullible the America people are. We like the government and anyone else, even Rush Limbaugh to THINK for us. We need to think and read between the lines. Sems we are in capable of reading, listening and evaluating things for ourselves. We can't seem to use common sense. The government/auto industry/ big oil companies tell us that it would cost more to start up ethnaol factories or refineries in this country. My opinon: Bullshit! The ethanol factories in Brazil or small, boilers, strainers. Use common sense people. It's a simple computerized mechanism in cars that senses fuel or total ethanol that is going to be burned. Wake up! We are being burned, by our own. I think they call that self destruction!

We better get our shit together!

Why does American talk fuel cell cars which will be available in the next ten years....think people. Just maybe government, auto and oil industry are in cahoots? Hello?

Their are enough farmers in this country growing corn etc., that right now we could be foreign oil independence. But, you know what, the farmers in this country are independent; they are not big industry. But, you know, if someone was really smart a big corporation would hire farmers under contract to buy their grains and make ethanol. It could be done easily enough.
