| The USDA disagrees:
"the recent USDA report concludes that at current prices sugarcaneand sugar beets-to-ethanol would be profitable in the United States, many factors — especially the domestic price of sugar and the government’s energy policies — will affect the future commercialization of sugar-to-ethanol in the U.S. USDA Chief Economist Keith Collins said at the release of the USDA report: “At some point in the future it may be worthy of commercial development. Technologically, it’s possible." | |

| Fuel cells are only one option for hydrogen use. There are others as well.
I believe that American ingenuity will find more ways to use hydrogen and other fuels in the near future. | |

- Home hydrogen. Fuel cells have powered space flight for decades, and auto companies hope they'll soon be ready for cars. In a decade or two, they should be commonly available for the basement, says Tom Drennen, an associate professor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and coauthor of Pathways to a Hydrogen Future. "There's a lot of efficiency in generating electricity where it is used," he says.
Fuel cells generate electricity through a chemical process that combines hydrogen and oxygen. When the inputs are pure, the only side products are water and heat in a process that's long been perfected. "What's not perfected is getting the fuel, the hydrogen, to them," says Branko Terzic, a Deloitte consultant on energy policy.
A few Japanese companies have installed experimental models in homes that run off natural gas. An added device strips hydrogen from the gas to fuel the cells, which generate electricity and hot water. A smaller slice of American homes have gas service, limiting that approach here. Converting natural gas also produces greenhouse gases. But the process is still less polluting than traditional electrical generation. "And nothing's wasted getting it to the home," Drennen says. http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/technology/2009/03/18/5-future-technologies-that-will-slash-home-energy-use.html?PageNr=2 |

- Turkish students at Sakarya University have built a hydrogen car that gets 1,336 mpg. Well, sorta.
Called the SAHÄ°MO, the vehicle’s current range is about 353 miles on a quarter gallon of fuel (568 kilometers on 1 liter). It travels such an obscene distance with so little fuel due to the vehicle’s uber-light weight: it weighs only 240 pounds (110 kilograms). The car’s made up of 90-percent carbon fiber.
I assume the size and weight limit it to holding only a liter of fuel. I couldn’t verify this as their site is in Turkish and mine is a little rusty.
The SAHMO won third most efficient vehicle in Europe’s 26th Shell Eco Marathon. And their next goal is to conquer the inaugural 2009 Global Green Challengee–an evolution of the World Solar Challenge competition in Australia–this October. About twenty electric, hybrid, alternative fuel and low emission production and prototype vehicles will compete in the race.
Melemez, a fourth-year student in the engineering department at Sakarya University, says “We are hoping to raise our record from 568 kilometers on one liter of hydrogen up to a full 1,000 kilometers on one liter, and we believe we can do it.”
A 3,000 kilometer trek across the Australian Outback on just 3 liters is quite ambitious but I really hope they can pull it off.
But before you think about running out and buying one, the car did cost $170,000 to build.
The 40-member group that developed the SAHIMO hydrogen car is the Sakarya University Advanced Technologies Implementation Group (SAITEM). Today’s Zaman reports that the team hopes to work on a non-piloted aircraft next and is already trying to get support from Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). http://gas2.org/2009/07/13/students-build-hydrogen-vehicle-that-gets-1336-mpg/ |

YIKES Thank the Republicans..... Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner actually handed out checks from the tobacco industry on the floor of the House to fellow Congressmen in 1995 when they were considering a bill to end a tobacco subsidy.------- Windfall For Big Tobacco Will Cost American Taxpayers $500 Million
Statement By Matthew L. Myers, President Campaign For Tobacco-Free Kids Washington, DC - The cigarette companies and Senator Mitch McConnell (KY) are at it again. At a time when serious and thoughtful proposals are needed to address the real problems facing tobacco farmers, Senator McConnell recently inserted a provision into the Agriculture Appropriations bill that will use $500 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars to buy up hundreds of tons of surplus burley tobacco leaf. According to industry sources, the big cigarette companies are planning to buy this tobacco from the Government at a steep discount that will give them hundreds of millions of dollars in windfall savings. While Senator McConnell says this government purchase of surplus burley leaf is designed to help U.S. tobacco farmers, it actually does more to bail out the big cigarette companies who caused this crisis by turning their backs on American farmers and using increasingly large amounts of foreign instead of American-grown tobacco in the cigarettes they sell. The cigarette companies should be held directly responsible for creating the large surplus inventories of American-grown tobacco and for causing the enormous problems that many small U.S. tobacco farmers currently face. Instead, the McConnell provision rewards the companies by selling them taxpay http://www.tobaccofreekids.org/Script/DisplayPressRelease.php3?Display=308 | |

Which is why I took the time to point out the error in your allegation. Don't try and include Democrats when in fact it's republicans that cause the problems. Republicans are always whining about how Gov't doesn't work after they are the ones who screw things up. | |
