Photos Of Alternative Energy Including Ethanol, Wind and Solar The photos below are of an ethanol processing plant near Lubbock, Texas. Here corn is converted into ethanol and loaded into the tank cars to be hauled away to a refinery where it is mixed with gasoline. Increased use of ethanol has been mandated by the federal government. Whether this use of natural resources is actually a benefit to the environment and produces more energy than it uses remains in question. It is the opinion of many scientists that the current method of producing ethanol from corn is a waste of precious natural resources and is only driving up food costs without reducing our imports of foreign oil. Many believe that natural gas, which is still plentiful in North America would be a much better fuel for vehicles in the short term until we transition to electric and hydrogen powered vehicles. Promising technology
that may help ethanol fill some of our energy needs includes cellulosic ethanol
which uses waste by products such as wood chips and straw. Advances in cellulose ethanol have
been slow as competing companies try to develop genetically modified bacteria
that will digest the cellulose from a variety of sources. More photos of
wind, solar, and geothermal sites will be included soon so keep checking back.
