Comments on: Termites: Bane of Home Owners, Boon to Ethanol Production http://gas2.org/2008/10/23/termites-bane-of-home-owners-boon-to-ethanol-production/ 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.

Using plant matter for any other than food production is fool hardy, and will cause starvation for certain! We must work at Solar, Wind, Wave, Hydro, Tidal and geo-thermal sources first! and consider battery cars a "Done Deal". Aside from Algae farms for Bio-Diesel, a non food item, requiring non arable land only, most other schemes steal from our food production potential to make Ethanol, which is still being burnt in gasoline specific engines, at extremely low efficiencies? We need Ethanol specific engines, to realize their really great potential at replacing gasoline, but this is blocked by "Big Oil", as was Euro-Diesels, for a full 40 % gain in efficiency due to high compression engines - so, America, we remain locked in an impossible to maintain "Status Quo", and facing the demise of our very currency as a victim of this paradox! When the dam busts! When the dollar dies, and when "Big Oil" loses its stranglehold on our necks, we will re-build a better less oil dependent America . Until then nothing can change! We can't even agree on the medicade we voted in majority for! What a debacle! What a Country! We don't have enough trees for the wood it would take to fuel us for a single day! Your sense of proportions, way off with respect to the humongous amount of oil based energy consumed daily in the U.S.A. We face paradigm shifts as never before on earth caused by oil shortages soon to befall us! "Duck and Cover America! Duck and Cover!"

It certainly doesn't sound like you meant to comment on this post, as I have linked to the source of the article which gives information on the journal in which the termite research will be published. Gary,

I have to say, I don’t know what Brian you’re talking about and what other post you meant to comment on. It certainly doesn’t sound like you meant to comment on this post, as I have linked to the source of the article which gives information on the journal in which the termite research will be published.

I would appreciate it if you could make such an adjustment. Actually my comment should have been addressed to both Nick and Brian and posted after both articles.

Your stories on ethanol remind me a great deal of the reports many years ago on "cold fusion". Could you please be so kind as to post the name or names of the scientific journal or journals in which the research on the topics on ethanol you cite was published. Until then, I will assign your news reporting to the "cold fusion" file. Alternatively, I would certainly be willing to accept and circulate widely with your article a statement from the scientists you cited in which they give a summary of their research on the topics about which you wrote. Afterall, such scientific findings would make gasoline so cheap that no oil would likely be needed to make gasoline. What a dramatic breakthrough. I look forward to seeing the information you post. Thank you for your kindness. Best regards, Gary Schwendiman,Ph.D. Hi Brian;

I'm sure someone will wait until the price of fuel spikes and be outraged! Instead of using food crops for fuel, fuel crops (cellulose) could be used for food.

Yeah, I imagine brandin' time would be a real pain. Yer cuttin' horse could end up squashin' the little dawgies and you'd have to use thread to rope an' tie 'em. “I don’t think I’d like to be a termite wrangler though.”
