Yes. Good, thank you for confirming that. **You're most welcome. For what ? **For this: "**BIG difference. Beer and some sparkling wines generate their own CO2 via the fermentation process." 10/2/2011 I don't see the distinction. If we didn't brew alcoholic beverages, then we wouldn't be creating CO2. Therefore, CO2 generated by the fermentation process is still essentially man-made. It's a bit like saying that it's not our driving that causes air pollution, it's the natural consequence of the internal combustion process. - Franc Zabkar There is a significant difference. In most cases automobiles use fossil fuels; thus they release carbon (as CO2) that was sequestered for millenia. If I take a corn crop and ferment it into alcohol, feed it to cattle, or plow it into the ground, the carbon (as CO2) was removed from the atmosphere within the last 6 - 9 months. If the alcohol is used to produce wiskey it will be out of the atmosphere for less than a decade; the other uses return it to the atmosphere more quickly. Even if I let the field go to weeds, the same process will occur. PlainBill |
