"Percentage of original U.S. topsoil lost to date: 75" Google gave me this.Is it true?I do not know.We can google up many more of these sites.It comes down to what an individual choses to believe, before reality sets in.Ignorance , hype and the herd can take marginal ideas to stratosphere.The scientists that have studied ethanol and methanol production have come up with an EROEI of 1 or less than one,if the herd choses not to believe, we can make money and be happy<g>.Can you remember the hydrogen hype several years ago with BLD up to $160.00,not many chose to believe the science, but fact, and reality has set in with BLD profitless since IPO and down to between 5 and 6 bucks.There are still many with power pushing this dream.Same hype with tar sands,many negatives there too but large herd does not want tp listen.Methanol, ethanol will make sense when it makes dollar sense and that will take the test of time, as BLD, especialy without government subsidy.
