Ethanol increases air pollution in addition to raising food prices!

"Ethanol increases two of the most dangerous air pollutants — volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 4 to 7 percent
over gasoline, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Together, VOC and NOx cause thousands of premature deaths each year,
the EPA said."

From my own webpage on biofuels at http://home.att.net/~meditation/bio-fuel-hoax.html

"Biofuel advocates falsely claim that ethanol is a "clean fuel" that
will reduce air pollution. Ethanol blended fuels burn cleaner on a
per gallon basis, but not on a miles traveled basis, because ethanol
contains 33%% less energy than gasoline. Ethanol blended fuels
actually emit more CO2 per miles driven than ordinary gasoline in
addition to emitting far more CO2 during their manufacture."

"Despite all of this bad news, biofuel fans and many television news
anchors keep mindlessly repeating the false claim that ethanol is
"green" and "renewable." If we dramatically speed up global warming
by producing ethanol, soon we won't be able to "renew" much of
anything."
