It's an interesting take I didn't consider. I've found myself in canoes more than gas powered boats in my life, so I never knew about that. I guess the same can be said for many household items that are gas powered: lawn mowers, leaf blowers, weed wackers, tractors, etc. You should check out Who Killed the Electric Car for an eye-opening experience. It's a great movie. Thanks for your comment Sean. It’s an interesting take I didn’t consider. I’ve found myself in canoes more than gas powered boats in my life, so I never knew about that.

In Massachusetts, we’ve been forced to use ethanol gasoline for quite some time. I’m all for a cleaner environment, but ethanol has caused numerous problems for boaters. Ethanol loosens deposits in boat fuel tanks and can dissolve resin in these tanks. This causes engines to stop working. What happens next? The fuel has to be disposed of or cleaned. Think of the environmental impact that either of these procedures has when hundreds of gallons of fuel are affected. As a boater, I clearly have strong feelings about ethanol. However, boating aside, I do wonder if the energy used in creating ethanol and transporting it to gas stations outweighs any environmental benefit that may be had from its use. Interesting post.
