Standing Up to OPEC

July 21, 2008 at 3:30 pm · Filed under Politics ·Tagged , , , , ,

It isn’t very difficult to understand why OPEC is against Ethanol. After all, they don’t get to continue to get $140 per barrel oil, if we can replace a significant portion of our energy from domestic sources.

I am so happy to see that oil prices have come down in the last week. Now, we need to throw our support behind World BioFuels Industry. They published a letter in the Financial Times to OPEC refuting the claims that the Cartel was making that Ethanol and other biofuels are raising the price of gas.

MTBE … What’s that?

Did you know there are cancer-causing additives in our gasoline? That they were put there to increase octane, and “clean” up the environment?

Me neither.

I didn’t know that until I read this article by DarkPalmer: http://darkpalmer.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/the-case-for-ethanol/

Turns out, Ethanol is an environmentally-friendly way to increase the octane of the gas you put in your current car (it doesn’t have to be an e85 vehicle). It makes the gas burn more cleanly, and it won’t poison ground water.

They are collecting names on a petition if you’d like to get involved: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/declare-july-4th-energy-independence-day

Also you can get more info on Ethanol at www.drivingethanol.org.
