The Waning Harvest
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008People in other parts of the world are feeling the pinch of our headlong rush to provide ethanol-infused gasoline as a step toward renewable energy. The problem is not the ethanol but where it’s coming from - corn, a global food staple. So we have a partially renewable fuel but less food. A local gas station is featuring not only ethanol containing gas but also an environmentally friendly car wash. This could be the more important offering for the time being - until we find non-food sources of the ethanol.
