Written for amusement value, mostly mine.
Wood grows on trees, pick up a dead limb off a gum tree or iron bark,
converts to heat when lit. This would essentially be carbon neutral in a
green way of thinking, ie: it grows absorbing carbon, dies and burns
releasing carbon.
Ethanol begins as cane (or other suitable crop) and has to undergo
cultivation, that is, has to be planted and harvested probably involving
diesel machinery and of course, we should take into account agriculture
produces 16% of our greenhouse gas (double that of passenger cars, only
8%).
Of course many suitable limb dropping trees just grow all over the place
without cultivation. Then there is the fermentation process of cane
sugars that gives off CO2 as does my home brew... but at least my ethanol
is made mostly from malt is put to good use, not burned.
Besides if I didn't home brew there would be a small mountain of bottles
having to be recycled each year whereas the bottle recycling occurs
in-house without destroying them or remaking them, simple wa****ng and
sterilising for a greener world :-) In fact I'm so *****ng green by doing
this, I could **** out lettuce... but home brewing wasn't even legal
until 1972.
Ethanol increases eva****ative emissions when added to petrol and general
rule, fuel consumption increases by 3% for E10, mind you they give you a
few cents off to compensate.. wooohooo.
We haven't taken into account the energy used in the distillation process
either... or cane farm runoff polluting our waterways.. and the Great
Barrier Reef. Of course all degradation to the latter is supposedly
caused by.. wait for it..."Global Warming". I remember the old man
complaining in the '60s that fish were getting fewer in the rivers and
even back then some were blaming cane (and other agriculture) runoff,
poisons, fertilisers etc.
AFAIK: Wood does not have eva****ative emissions and putting a stick in
your fuel tank is not recommended so it's unlikely greenies (regardless
of how retarded) will urge you to do it... and besides, ever heard of
kilometers per stick? Trees actually reduce the degradation of waterways
unless the dead and/or fallen gum tree limbs are floating in it so you
best off burn them to keep warm... and save the koala too you heartless
bastards. Silica gel eaters note: Green *ones won't burn too well and
give off tooo much smoke like a Magna. Best to let **them dry out for a
couple of years.
(Q1) How can they, the greenies (includes politicians) claim ethanol
production and use is carbon neutral?
(Q2) Should I send this to our Federal Environment minister?
*tree limbs not koalas
**tree limbs not Magnas
