What’s happening in the Gulf of Mexico is a growing holocaust of millions of innocent creatures. It’s a failure to innovate, a national disgrace, and a wake up call to all who call planet Earth home. Depending so heavily on oil for our transportation needs, and power generation and industrial use*, is not only environmentally irresponsible, it’s the basis for many of our current energy security issues, and one of our country’s most egregious economic problems. (65 percent of US oil is imported, and 1/2 of all the oil we consume is used to generate electricity.)
There is proven technology to make cleaner liquid energy from any type of carbons, such as oil or coal. Or stranded methane. Or natural gas. Or your household trash, yard trimmings, and waste biomass, for that matter. All of this carbon-based stuff can be cleanly and profitably converted to E4 ENVIROLENE. No crops to grow or water or fertilize. Or ferment. Nothing needs to be mined or drilled for.
E4 is exponentially cleaner than the gasoline it displaces, and it improves mileage and performance.
Last thing is the most important point on this time of destruction in the Gulf of Mexico: unlike the 200,000 gallons of oil currently going into the Gulf of Mexico every day, if any E4 gets spilled on land or water, it actually feeds the microbes, bugs and plants a free lunch instead of a death sentence. Why? E4 is completely water soluble. It’s completely biodegradable. It doesn’t float on water, and it doesn’t stick to bird feathers. It simply evaporates, leaving almost no residue of any kind.
Time to improve the combustion of the two dirtiest carbons (oil and coal) for our energy needs and open up massive global opportunities to make cleaner mixed alcohol fuels made from ANY type of carbon. Mixed alcohols blend right in to whatever you’re burning and make it burn better and cleaner.
Mixed alcohol fuel: It’s not rocket science. It’s a no-brainer, and it’s getting ready to lift off.
