Cellulosic Ethanol = Another Distraction

We at Biochemical Slang are not conspiracy theorists. We're just truth seekers. Period. I'll lay out some facts. YOU do the math.

G DUBBZ has been pushing his we-are-addicted-to-oil-and-hence-the-Middle-East mantra for a minute now. He has also been pushing CELLULOSIC ETHANOL as a viable, clean, and cheap solution to our oil addiction. Alcohol for your car? Less fumes in the air? We can make the world a cleaner place WITHOUT changing our behavior? Futuristic ish, right?

Since July 14th, stock in America's leading ethanol producers has plummeted by 25-63%. Since G DUBBZ's State of the Union, Pacific Union (major ethanol producer) stock dropped another 10 percent. Furthermore, since G DUBBZ's big alternative energy push, falling oil prices have seen a little spike in price per barrel. Also, turns out the maximum annual ethanol production is extrapolated to be about 17 billion barrels, less than half of DUBBZ's goal of 35 billion barrels. And, this cellulosic ethanol isn't THAT cheap, at a little over two dollars a gallon. Hmmmm, is ethanol a viable solution or a temporary distraction? These are just the facts. YOU do the math.

Here's another one that I wish I could make up. Here's a snippet of G DUBBZ's Securing America's Future Energy press conference: "I can sign a comprehensive plan that will assure the American people that as we look forward into the 21st century that we'll be more energy dependent and good stewards of the environment." That was more than just a Freudian slip.

Just the facts. Even when he's down, DUBBZ STILL finds a way to eff his enemies and feed his family.
