Obama is a huge ethanol whore. He inserted a new ethanol subsidy into a 2006 tax bill and he gushes over ethanol in his book The Audacity of Hope. Bottom line, is he is telling the auto manufacturers that they will take their production of all vehicles to use ethanol. So, during the current year, the ravages of ethanol started making headlines - the "green fuel" has contributed to record high food prices and has caused food riots in the developing world. It exhausted water supplies, drove gasoline prices through the roof and causing a much bigger smog issue. The impact of ethanol on the environment is extremely negative. Lets do the math.
* A gallon of ethanol contains 75,700 British Thermal Units of energy
* A gallon of gasoline contains 111,500 British Thermal Units of energy
* American firms produced 6.5 billion gallons of ethanol in 2007
* Americans use 388.6 million gallons of gasoline per day
* To produce 5 gallons of ethanol from corn, one must spend the energy equivalent of roughly 4 gallons of ethanol for farming, shipping, and processing. In other words, ethanol has a 2.5 percent net energy yield. So after running the numbers, the answer is that America's entire 6.5 billion gallon ethanol production created the net energy equivalent of...... are you ready??????
2.2 days worth of American gasoline consumption. Would you call that energy independence??
I think not!!! When the government subsidized corn ethanol productions in 2007, it was like spending $9.00 to create a gallon of gasoline, and doing it 853 million times. If you still don't get it, consider this: If you could turn gold into lead would you do it?
Obama is an idiot. He has no clue what he is doing, and his election would take this country to its knees so fast, and the recovery, if there was ever one, would be so far down the road, that most of us wouldn't even remember when it got started.
The information I just gave you came from a book by David Freddoso. The book, The Case Against Barack Obama, I suggest that you read this book before you make a trip to the polls and cast your ballot for a man that in no way has anyones real interests at heart, only those of his own. This man is dishonest, nothing more than a liar, a cheat, and a conniver. I again urge you to remember that Adolf Hitler was able to convince 50% of Germany's population that he was their savior, a man who wanted "Change" who would take care of everyone if he was elected into office, and he did take care of everyone he could. All 11 million of them!
