Ethanol Process Video ***GOOD INFO***

Video I saw when someone posted it up on Facebook about The Process of Ethanol Production. Video has A LOT of good info and clears up A LOT of very common misconceptions that the public has about Ethanol Fuels and the fact that NONE of the corn used for Ethanol production comes from the human food supply.

Also the FACT that you get about 60% more energy out of Ethanol than what it takes to make Ethanol is probably the biggest thing I learned from this video! (1 BTU of Ethanol=1.67 BTU's of Energy compared to Pump Gasoline @ 1 BTU of Gasoline= 0.7 BTU's of Energy) Interesting stuff check it out!

Bump good video, I wish more people would understand how ethanol works and is made rather than just spouting misinformation. On another note if our government would get their head out of their A$$ we could have even cheaper ethanol using HEMP seed oil.
