Comments on: Green Gasoline? Scientists Produce $1/Gallon Gasoline From Non-Food Plant Material http://gas2.org/2008/04/09/green-gasoline-scientists-produce-1gallon-gas-from-non-food-plant-material/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

While every gallon of oil has to be refined into some gasoline and some diesel, the refiners have some control over the proportions of each that are produced. Over the last few decades refiners have optimized to produce as much gasoline as possible. How long before refiners have modified their equipment to produce more diesel and less gasoline? Ray

As an oil trader I will tell you that the gas retailers are losing their shirts. Even though the wholesale price of gas may hover around $1.00, the taxes and cost of regulation alone make retailing a bad business. They only stay in the business hoping you will buy a bag of chips or a soda. Why do you think Exxon sold out of it earlier this year. The refiners are also getting crushed, we need to impose minimum gas prices so we can all eat. Or cut out the worst business partner any one could ever have...the government.

Already in Indonesia and South America cultivating of grain, rice and other food has been ditched in favour of the more profiable fuels. In a further 20 years the population will ahve increased to 15 Billion. Who is going to feed them? Where is drinking water going to be sourced from. The rivers are now getting heavily polluted by algae. It's time to be very concerned about preservation and sourcing of water. The footprint lies in the methods of producing not in its use.The footprint also lies in the sacrifice of rain forests, corn, wheat, barley... food for energy methods that aren't needed. No hope left for us when we have science more concerned with fuel than sustinance. The Baldchemist The question is who will bother to grow food anymore?
