this technique also works to clean your fuel
put 1/4" of water in your gas jug.
alcohol, and moisture condensate all end up in the bottom layer.
just pour off the top for clean fuel
all my hard start and carb issues (mower) went away then I started doing that

They haven’t innovated anything in 50 years because the government made a rule that 85% of the sugar has to be grown here

This creates a stagnant industry and keeps sugar prices high which means that all the companies that used sugar either switched to hfcs or moved their factories to Mexico


Nowadays the largest bakery company in America is a Mexican cartel affiliated company called bimbo that has all their factories in Mexico for the cheap sugar and sells all their product here

Land that is used for corn production would not be used for a grazing pasture. It would remain in corn production and we'd just add feedlots.

Anecdotal, you drive the Iowa countryside and you see more and more farms getting into the cattle biz. At least it seems that way to the eye.

Another boondoggle that can’t be unraveled because of the electoral issues but is totally f*cking us over.



Another scam.

Corn absorbs carbon, ethanol fuel is cleaner. That's what we were told at least.


But in reality, it hurts the climate more. Tractors to farm corn aren't using ethanol fuel. Fertilizer production for the corn for ethanol doesn't help the climate. And a lot of grasslands and ecosystems have been mandated over the years to be plowed for corn.



Oh and the RFS was signed into law by W.


Bush 1 gave us visas and Bush 2 gave us the renewable fuel standard.
