Climate change enthusiasts have problems with data from different research sources these days, whether it be poor interpretation of science or scandal involving research.
The noted journal Science, in a study of biofuel emissions, found an error in the way climate-change studies are being made. It discovered that ethanol produces the same amount of greenhouse gas as fossil fuels. or more such gas per unit of energy. However, ethanol was always considered to be better than oil or gas as a fuel, in this regard,
Also, the fact ethanol displaces and raises the cost of a food product was always a negative. Along with the fact that it is a relatively poor source of energy, compared to conventional fuels we use.
Without my getting into the mathematics of the scientific report, the entire hastily created political boondoggle of using ethanol has been proven to be just that. Pure politics dressed up to appear an environmental bonanza.
The unintended consequence will be that land will be used for wrong purposes, and rain forests will be converted for the production of this poor energy substitute for conventional, but maligned sources.
