Food Prices Rise – Not Because of Ethanol, But Oil and Gasoline

 Food Prices Rise   Not Because of Ethanol, But Oil and
Gasoline Isn't it time that this guy gets what he deserves?

Turn-about is supposed to be fair play, so let’s give the oil-gasolineindustry a taste of their own medicine

By Marc J. RauchExec. Vice President/Co-PublisherTHE AUTO CHANNEL

AUTO CENTRAL – February 27, 2011: The Gasoline Whores, that is to saythe oil lobby and all of media mouthpieces make up lies to blame ethanolfor world hunger and almost any rise in food prices.

Well, not only has ethanol production never been the cause of priceincreases and starvation, but it is the oil and gasoline industry that hasproven once again that it is their poisonous fuel that is the cause of foodprice increases (due to the surcharges being placed on food suppliesbecause of the increasing cost of gasoline and diesel.

Now, keep in mind that the increase on petroleum oil-based fuels isbased on nothing more that greed and speculation: oil supplies have not belimited and there is no sudden increase in the demand for gasoline. Butthere we have it, higher gasoline and diesel prices and higher foodprices.

Meanwhile, ethanol (and CNG and propane) are forced on to the backburner because of the bribes paid by the oil industry to politicians andmedia influencers to keep us on the gasoline standard.

What should be happening is for the President and Congress mandate theend of new gasoline-powered vehicles within the next 3-4 years and for theimmediate removal of all regulations prohibiting the conversion of existinggasoline engines to CNG and propane, while also mandating the immediateadoption of (at least) E30 in in gasoline sold in America.

Andritz to Supply Biomass Boiler to Graphic Packaging’s Macon Mill

Andritz to Supply Biomass Boiler to Graphic Packaging’s Macon mill

1296975643 63 Andritz to Supply Biomass Boiler to Graphic Packagings Macon Mill Andritz BFB power boiler.

Feb. 3, 2011 – Andritz said that it has been awarded an order by Graphic Packaging International to supply a 350,000 lb/h (160 t/h) steam boiler using woody biomass and primary clarifier sludge as fuels for the company’s paperboard mill in Macon, Georgia, USA. Start-up of the boiler is scheduled for summer 2013.

The value of the order was not disclosed.

The scope of the order includes a Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) steam boiler, fuel and bottom ash handling systems, and the boiler safety system.

It is projected that the biomass boiler will effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 200,000 ton/a (180,000 metric ton/a), Andritz said.

The new biomass boiler is expected to make the Macon mill energy self-sufficient (electrical power and steam generation), which will reduce Graphic Packaging’s energy costs and dependency on fossil-fuel based alternatives. The mill expects to become a net producer of electricity, Andritz added.

Start-up of the boiler is scheduled for summer 2013.

The Macon mill currently produces about 1,600 tons of paperboard per day.

What manufactured cars run off of biodiesel or ethanol?

alternative fuel34 What manufactured cars run off of biodiesel or ethanol?


I am looking to buy a car that runs off of biodiesel and ethanol, but I’m having problems finding what cars are out there. I want them made this year and not personally converted, manufactured that way. Can anyone give me a list of what manufactured cars run off of one or the other alternative fuel listed?

What is the best alternative fuel for cars? Which is the one that uses the least water?

alternative fuel18 What is the best alternative fuel for cars? Which is the one that uses the least water?


I have a project on alternative fuels. Please try to add a website in the source… it would make my life a lot easier but again you might be thinking Why the hell should I LOL…I understand i got that same kind of attitude.

What is the cleanest alternative fuel that has been discovered ?

alternative fuel1 What is the cleanest alternative fuel that has been discovered ?


I know each alternative fuel comes with a price (as does everything). The extracting of hydrogen is supposedly not environmentally friendly, this being one of the prices of its implementation. I am not an expert on the subject though. Does anyone know what the cleanest alternative fuel available or that has been found is ? I also am wondering what some of the pros and cons of some of the others are. I suppose cleanest could mean one that is the most environmentally and economically friendly source available so far.

Do you believe the rise in food prices is caused by the use of Ethanol, as has been claimed?

alternative fuel18 Do you believe the rise in food prices is caused by the use of Ethanol, as has been claimed?


Ethanol has been touted as an Alternative Fuel, although some say there are emission problems connected to its use. Ethanol, in our country, is primarily made from corn, and corn and corn syrup are important ingredients in much of our food products. Thus, the production of Ethanol is blamed for the rising prices in food. However, most of us do not know a soul using Ethanol as fuel, and there is only one gas station in Michigan offering Ethanol as an alternative choice. So why would Ethanol take the blame for the prices going up in food?

What are some surprising facts about alternative fuels?



I’m looking for something about alternative fuels in general or any one specific fuel.

Could *** be an alternative fuel source?



me and my friend were talkin about this (one of them really had to go =]) and im woundering if *** can be used as an alternative fuel source?

also, what other weird stuff could be used? i heard one guy used leftover oils and stuff from a nearby chinese restaurant to fuel his car. lol i bet that exhast smelled good.

What are the negative effects of alternative fuels?



I have to do a presentation in one of my classes that persuades against alternative fuels and their use. I’ve found some info on ethanol and its negative effects but I need 3 examples of fuels to present. Does anyone have any ideas?
