The New and Improved Tomahawk Missile Now Runs on Corn

The new fuel blend uses feedstocks instead of petroleum in an effort to limit the military's dependence on fossil fuels.

    Modern cruise missiles are powered by turbine engines running off JP-10.

    Scientists at Los Alamos National Labs have created a new formulation of JP-10 that uses feedstocks instead of petroleum.

    The result is a domestic, renewable fuel source that the lab believes will be significantly cheaper to use.

One of the nation’s most prestigious national labs has developed a new fuel substitute for the same jet fuel that powers cruise missiles. Los Alamos National Labs has come up with a replacement fuel for JP-10 that uses corn bran and other feedstocks instead of petroleum products. The result is a fuel that can be sourced directly from America’s most plentiful crop, bypassing foreign sources.

 *****rollingeyes***** I'm VERY skeptical that corn-etc.-based fuel will cost less than petroleum-based fuel. *****rollingeyes***** That claim sounds like the facile false claims that have been a staple among Enviros since the 1960s (e.g. that solar, wind, ocean wave, etc. energy are "almost free"). *****rollingeyes*****
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
