Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed

guacamolefoo writes "CNN reports that researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a small (2 ft. high) hydrogen reactor that turns ethanol into hydrogen and then uses a fuel cell to turn the hydrogen into electricity. It notably does not use fossil fuels in the process. I knew that liquor would save us all some day."

    I am less worried about that and more worried about the CONSTANT threat of fire at the ethanol plant.

    Not only does the fucking plant make a 5+ mile radius (depending on winds I guess) smell like complete and udder shit but it is also ALWAYS in the news for being on fire.

    My other problem with ethanol is that they have it in the gas here and it makes your car run like shit unless the engine was specifically engineered to run on ethanol mix.

    Fuck ethanol, fuck the commercials promoting ethanol, and fuck the morons that decided that here in Minnesota we needed this.

    Do you know what distillation is?

    Boiling off the alcohol, recondensing it, but not boiling off the water.

    And how do you boil off the alcohol? Big ass boilers, fired by coal or oil.

    Note that you don't hear of the Sierra Club or NWF demanding more ethanol consumption...

    You're acting like the Sierra Club is a mainstream environmentalist (oxymoron?) group. They are not. They blame SUVs. for Global Warming.
