Subject: Re: More ethanol bashing



"How much energy is saved, when a boatload of DDGs is shipped to China vs a boat load of corn? "

Depends on what it's supplementing on the other end. Do we still use the "energy credits" in the DDG's to offset the Ethanol, even though that product is now valued at around $5-10 ton wet?

"How much energy and water is used in this country to water grass? "

Bunches, oodles, and gobs, but, heh, your yard has to look nice(sarc)

"How many engines have been damaged by ethanol? "

Directly or indirectly? How many fuel hoses and carburetor and etc has it eaten off of older machinery?

"How much higher would gas prices be if Ethanol was not available? "

None. Imported gasoline affects gasoline prices in this country more than a few % Ethanol.
