Sinopsis

Ethanol made in the United States eliminates the need to import foreign oil, provides more efficient fuel and creates hundreds of thousands of good jobs. But there are still people who feel that producing and using it is a mistake.

To show that corn ethanol really does have benefits, Keith B. Zacharias, who has worked at companies such as Texaco and ABB, explains the facts behind its production. For instance:

  • Ethanol produced in the U.S. utilizes corn, 80 percent of which is used for animal feed, not human consumption.
  • Almost all gasoline in the U.S. has approximately 10 percent ethanol in it at this time.
  • The U.S. economy is now in serious jeopardy because we import 65 percent of the oil we need, and the price is bankrupting our nation.
After years of being held hostage by foreign oil cartels, people are finally beginning to grasp the need for alternative fuels. Find out why corn ethanol is a worthy option and one that could change the nation for the better in American Gold Rush in the Twenty-First Century.
