More Gas

Or is less gas more? The Germans call biofuel Biosprit but whether you call it that or bioethanol or biobutanol or biodiesel or whatever else kind of bio something you want to call this new poo poo power stuff, well, it’s all a bunch of gas in the end. Or at least it is whenever politicians get their hands on it (yuk), which you can’t really do because it is gas after all, come to think of it.

 

So now the German government has tossed plans to increase the amount of bioethanol to get mixed up in the regular gasoline next year and Mr. Big Environment minister Sigmar Gabriel himself is mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore for a while. It’s the next admission of a failed policy mandated by politicians who maybe ought to should not not pretend that they know all that much about technology even the high-tech technologists appear to have trouble making happen. It turns out that millions of German cars would not be able to operate using this new E10 biofuel blend.

He is blaming his tossing of the towel on his coalition partners of course because that is what he is paid to do and this makes him look all the more green I guess although I feel he looks more white and pasty than anything else and I wonder if they haven’t thought of maybe pumping him up with a little E10 in the morning from time to time. Talk about your poo poo power.

Ein Biosprit-Desaster? Warum nicht?

    Phrase these days: “Es liegt etwas in der Luft."

    Literal meaning: Something is lying in the air.

    In other words: There's something in the wind.

    Or better yet...

    "And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD, And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: And after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: And after the fire a still small voice."

    Les hommes ne croient jamais les autres capables de ce qu'ils ne le sont pas eux-mêmes.

    The negative views Germans hold vis-à-vis the United States are the accidental results of flawed reasoning, recklessly acquired erroneous judgments, well-intentioned but misguided teaching of parents and teachers, and unexamined acculturation. Of course the positve views are the result of that, too. But still.
