Many people, in the effort of saving money, are actually choosing to fill up their cars with E85 ethanol. Why not right? E85 is cheaper than normal gasoline. But is E85 good for our environment?

Unfortunately E85 isn’t very good for Mother Earth at all. It doesn’t burn cleanly, and produces toxins when burned. Also, E85 is made from corn. It seems to be unethical to destroy perfectly good food to produce cheap fuel when in fact many people don’t even have enough to eat! Thirdly, E85 just looks cheaper but actually, it contains a good percentage of less energy compared to gasoline, so you actually get less mileage!

It is important to consider all the aspects of something before using it. Sometimes, things are cheaper for a reason. Hopefully, this article will make you stop and think before sing E85!

Is it really possible to turn garbage into a viable fuel source? Many experts believe that it is!

For a long time no scientists have already known that waste could be turned it too fuel. However, little interest was shown in the project. It is only lately that people are realizing the need for such a technology.

Wood chips, garbage and crop waste can be transformed into ethanol and anything that has hydrogen carbon and oxygen components can be turned into fuel as well.

A successful take on turning garbage into fuel could not only lessen the stuff that goes into out landfills, it could potentially solve the fuel crisis that we are currently experiencing.
