Somehow I would rather have cheaper milk then exploding fuel. Just me I guess.
Today there is word that the transportation of cow Killer E-85 ethanol poses a real danger.
It turns out that ethanol fires are harder to put out than gasoline fires. Water cannot be used - and the foam that is sprayed on gasoline fires does not work on ethanol. Many fire departments do not have the ethanol foam - or have not been trained how to use the foam or approach the fires. The foam is 30-percent more expensive than the foam used on gasoline fires. Experts say wrecks involving cars and trucks are not the major concerns. But fires involving tankers transporting large amounts of ethanol can pose significant dangers.
