TIME Magazine: Corn Ethanol Fuel ‘Making Climate Situation Worse’

TIME Magazine: Corn Ethanol Fuel ‘Making Climate Situation Worse’

An article from TIME Magazine’s online news site points out that corn ethanol fuel used as a gasoline additive or replacement is not as environmentally friendly as proponents claim. TIME is correct.

Research shows that not only does the promotion of corn ethanol-blended fuel lead to land use and crop pricing issues, but it also may actually increase the emissions that climate activists are trying to reduce. [bold, links added]


The article, “Politicians Are Touting Corn Ethanol as a Climate Solution. The Truth Is More Complicated,” explains how hundreds of millions of dollars in the Inflation Reduction Act are going toward further investment in higher-ethanol content gasoline infrastructure.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This information has been out there probably 20 years or more.  What it does, though, is give Time the chance to praise EVs.  This "article" is nothing but an opening for propaganda for EVs' :pondering:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, hopefully we won't have to wait another twenty years to get out the facts on EVs.

Every "solution" brings even more problems, and we have reached the point where the pushback has to happen before we are all reduced to starving peasants.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
