Question

I'd like to know more about these subjects.

I'd like to learn more about these topics. Any suggestions for web pages?

Answer 1

Your question is one that I asked about 11 years ago when Ford started making Flex-Fuel Vehicles
I've been researching for years
The best resource for beginners.... is the N.E.V.C
www.E85fuel.com

That website will keep you busy for days
Be sure to sign up for newsletters there also. you can go back to previous newsletters too. [ I was featured in May of 2005.]

For currant news & info I also get GOOGLE & YAHOO! alerts delivered to me daily via e-mail -- keyword = "ethanol"

My nickname here is ETHOL a.k.a....eth'ol my own contraction for ethanol.......and given to me by my co-workers.

Yes I am an ethanol info idiot.....or advocate..
There some restricted areas of the N.E.V.C. website, but anybody who wants to get unbiased and truthful info will find it there.

Be mindful of the info you get from other 'Media' Remember everyone has an opinion & an agenda . The ethanol industry is subject to attack by other energy industries ....competition always does that. Studies and polls can always be skewed to reach different conclusions.....Be your own judge of conclusions.

As for Hybrid technology...I drive Ford ...so I can direct you to
www.ford.com you can also get competitive comparisons there

There are different types of Hybrid engines
Ford's Hybrid Escape is what is called Fully Hybrid
You get better mileage at lower speeds & stop-n-go type traffic
because then it automatically shuts off the Gas
I can go a month on 10 gallons of gas because of the kind of driving I do.........{ sweet huh? }
Currently Ford has a Hybrid that can use E85 as well but its not on the market yet When it is I will be the first one in line for it!!!!


Maybe I'll meet you in line ?

Answer 2

right it truly is a shorter answer: Hybrids should be compatiable with biofuels or petroleum fuels and are better useful, exceptionally if youcontinual short distances. Pay very close interest to even as fashions come out, considering there are significant tax advantages for paying for new sort hybrids, yet those disappear once they have bought some kind of a given sort. in case you could't get a tax damage, it's going to take a lengthy time period so that you could recoup the better value of a hybrid. evaluate a diesel. Icontinual a 2006 Jetta TDI, can use biodiesel as a lot as i pick and get an everyday of 45MPG in primairly city utilising, fifty 5 on longer journeys and performance quite a few circumstances gotten sixty 5 on my previous go back and forth. Any which way, get a mild motor vehicle with a small engine.

Ethanol is an alcohol-based alternative fuel produced by fermenting and distilling starch crops that have been converted into simple sugars, feedstocks for this fuel include corn, barley, and wheat which is blended with gasoline to create E85, a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.

Hybrid technology is the development and marketing of lithium powered products, NASA's Space Programs lithium powered fleet vehicles, Hybrid Living Home Power which uses lithium batteries charged by solar panels and roof-mounted wind turbines, Hybrid Cars run off a rechargeable battery and gasoline, the battery weighs 600 lbs / 272 kg of lithium cells, Hybrid Oxide Ceramic for advanced gas turbines for power generation, Hybrid Raman/AFM an inverted microscope which can study transparent biological samples using morphology and chemistry on the nanometre scale.

Answer 4

Ethanol is a great hoax. It takes 7 barrels of diesel fuel to make 8 barrels of ethanol. Special interest groups stand to make enormous profits from this whole scam.

Answer 5

I'm not going to ramble on about what each is because there is so much to tell. But my sources have the information you are looking for, I also threw in a recent CNN article concerning ethanol and its impact on the economy.
