So we the food consumers will be competing with ethanol producers for the same stuff.

Increased demand caused by ethanol production will drive up the prices of those commodities.

mas mabilis and mas direct ung effect nyan hindi ba?

ethanol from sugarcane is actually from molasses and bagasse. these two are by-products of the sugar making process. so dapat ndi tataas ang presyo ng sugar due to ethanol kasi ndi naman maapektuhan ang mismong volume of sugar being produced.

dun sa coco-diesel naman, baka nga may trade-offs na mangyari between using it as fuel and using at raw materials for soap, cooking oil etc.

so mag- ihaw na lang imbes na prito para tipid sa cooking oil. wag na maligo after mag ihaw para tipid sa sabon. then nwasa juice na lang ang inumin. hehehe
