Every day we take in some form of energy. Energy through food, energy through heat to keep us warm, and energy for fuel. And I mean gasoline, gasoline is a necessity that keeps our infrastructure and our economy running. However, the price of this necessity has increased from one dollar to three dollars, and has gone hand in hand with our ongoing fight against global warming. For this and many other reasons, the State of the Union addresses the 20 by 10 Plan, or a reduction in gasoline consumption by 20% within the next ten years. And fill that gap by using alternative fuels like ethanol. Although the 20x10 Plan may be useful for the required implementation of alternative fuels. First, ethanol production would be harmful to us in the fight against global warming, it is not economically beneficial, and three it is not as efficient as those we have already thought of ethanol. How can such a fuel be considered a green fuel if it is not effective in our fight against global warming? How is it that a fuel that seems cheaper than gasoline isn't cheaper than gasoline? And why in many situations would ethanol not be as effective as some had previously thought? These are some of the points that are discussed today. And they boil down to three categories. Environment, costs and efficiency The pros and cons are based on these and many other categories. But when you get down to the facts and figures at hand, the negatives outweigh the positives. And ethanol production should not take place. How can ethanol production harm our environment? This is the impact on the environment and the impact on us. The first point that promotes the pressure of ethanol on our environment is the fact that it reduces the amount of carbon particles we put into the atmosphere. The more carbon particles we have in the atmosphere, the more radiation gets trapped and the more energy comes back to us, thus causing global warming. Likewise, if you produce ethanol, it is a fuel that allows us to grow and harvest again. . This means we control the carbon carmine cycle. However, as Dan Becker, head of the Sierra Club's global warming program, says, “There are many ways in which ethanol would be a disaster for the environment”..
