We are far too dependent on foreign oil
I also believe that we have a readily available fuel source.
A renewable fuel source. Garbage!
Methane is produced from rotting garbage.
It is a very clean burning gas and it can be mixed with corn alcohol to make it portable.
The government can set a standard for the fuel (composition and whatnot) then anyone can make the fuel.
The important part of this is that the Government should SET THE STANDARD. not pick favorites. Not create a licensing scheme.
If a person or company wants to produce Methanol for sale to the public they will have to meet the guideline set out and be periodically audited.
If a private citizen wants to make their own fuel for their family they absolutely can do so.
The key here is for the government to be the referee for businesses… not citizens.
Much the same way it is with “wine” a private person can have a small “still” as long as they are not selling to the public (this is the way it is in Ohio… your actual results may vary)
One reply on “Political beliefs (Energy/Gasoline)”
Do you think it’s feasible to collect that much methane from landfills without using up more energy than you would gain?
