Ethanol news, articles and information:

Ethanol raises ozone pollution more than petroleum

10/8/2016 - While some regard ethanol as a cleaner, safer and more environmentally friendly biofuel than gasoline, critics say its effect is as bad or even worse for nature than regular oil, as concluded in a report by Malaysia's The Star.

Overhyped electric cars and ethanol are 'greenwashed' scams that ultimately cause more pollution than fossil fuels

4/27/2015 - Driving an electric vehicle may not be as green as you might think, especially if you're living in a region that produces most of its electricity by burning coal, according to new research presented by Christopher Kennedy, Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto. A new study called...

The dirty secret behind Obama's green power push

11/22/2013 - We here at Natural News have never understood the wisdom of burning up food supplies, which is one reason why we are vehemently opposed to the addition of ethanol in gasoline. In 2007, when President Bush signed legislation requiring ethanol to be blended with regular fuel, its usage has only increased....

Why you should avoid filling up your gas tank with ethanol-laced fuel

3/10/2012 - New guidelines recently put forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for automobile fuel could spell disaster for your car's engine.

Burning up food prices: More corn going to ethanol production now than food production

8/19/2011 - The world has a food shortage. This isn't speculative or subjective, and it's not fear-mongering or alarmist. It's a well-documented fact and, what's more, the real experts - those who aren't influenced by government or corporate interests - have been trying to make that case for months. Moreover,...

The economic insanity of corn ethanol and government

5/19/2011 - For a White House that cheerleads about its commitment to renewable clean energy, President Obama has remained committed to the suicide policy set forth during George W. Bush's administration of burning our food for fuel. Say what you will about "green" alternatives to fossil fuels - there are some...

Gulf of Mexico "dead zone" caused by ethanol production

10/28/2010 - Ethanol, billed by Congress as a "green fuel," may be responsible for the second-largest dead zone in the world. The foremost cause of aquatic dead zones is fertilizer runoff from agricultural operations, which leads to an explosion of algal growth. Eventually this algae dies, decaying on a scale...

New Research Blasts Supposed Efficiency of Corn Ethanol

6/26/2010 - New research from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) shows that corn-based ethanol biofuel is wasteful, inefficient, and a misuse of taxpayer money.

Ethanol burns dirtier than gasoline, study finds

12/27/2009 - A recent study conducted by researchers at Stanford University has revealed that ethanol fuel produces more ozone that regular gasoline. When ethanol is burned through combustion, it produces emissions that are substantially higher than gasoline in aldehydes, the carcinogenic precursors to ozone. Much...

Corn Ethanol Biofuels Contaminated with Antibiotics

11/7/2009 - Byproducts from the production of corn for ethanol biofuels have been found to be contaminated with antibiotics. "Ethanol's drug problem is just the latest of many reasons to impose a moratorium on production of fuels from grains," wrote Stan Cox for the Land Institute's Prairie Writers Circle. "If...

Why Ethanol Production Boosts E.Coli in Cattle

10/7/2009 - Emerging research is suggesting that in addition to boosting food prices, ethanol production may have another unintended consequence: higher E. coli infection rates in cattle. In light of growing concern over global warming, ethanol -- produced from corn -- has been touted as a potentially carbon...

Drink Red Wine and Keep Breasts, Livers and Brains Healthy

3/26/2009 - Red wine is turning out to be a superfood. Although many health conscious people have opted to get isolated grape compounds in capsule form, recent research is showing that the best way is to drink red wine.
