<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 607297, member: 3011&quot;]A lot of the energy cost in ethanol is in the running of farm machinery to plant and harvest crops and deliver them to the ethanol plant, and moving the ethanol by truck to the service stations [ethanol cannot be transported by pipeline unless it is stainless steel, which isn&#039;t the case].&nbsp; There is also a loss in the use of fertilizer, which requires natural gas to produce and trucks to deliver.&nbsp; Also, for every acre of food lost to ethanol, another must be planted to replace the lost food production -- another huge energy cost.&nbsp; To make matters worse, ethanol reduces fuel milage and requires more frequent replacement of the vehicles because it is so corrosive, another huge energy cost.&nbsp; It&#039;s a fuel only a politician from a farm state can love.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
