The #1 Urban myth assumed by the USA is "ethanol production"

submitted by marinara

1 decade 7 years 1 month 2 weeks ago

The name is _ABC 20/20 Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity with John Stossel_. ABC news ran this special on May 4, 2007.

The final part of this 20/20 special shows the real effect of increasing ethanol production nationally.

One of the other top 10 myths was: 2nd marriages are more successful (true)
They also dropped pennies to simulate if pennies would kill people if dropped from a tall building.

I'm not too keen on turning our food into an energy commodity either.

Stop Global Whining.

yer' there, wumpus, again the farmer shall suffer, under the whip of controlled obsolescence....and, what if the shit they wanted to hit the fan, included food shortages???....anything is pissable.....farmers given props to jump in lock step, same ol' same ol'.......if it made sense, we woldn't vote for assholes in America...we'd flense em'....as in whales for THEIR fuel...

and the worker keeps working, fucking, and spending paper money-distracted as usual....

I'd like to see his alleged proof that ethanol production requires as much chemical energy as it produces...

Ethanol is the biggest Gaffe in the fuel industry in history. HUGE MISTAKE. Science does NOT support ethanol fuel.

*promote

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by Doc_M because Doc_M is not privileged - sorry.

It will be soon, Siftbot. Your day will come. I will defeat your censorship, can. I CAN! I CAN!
