Energy: these commodities include crude oil, electricity, natural gas, coal, uranium, gasoline, heating oil, and ethanol. Energy commodities have a massive impact on the production, distribution, and price of other commodities. Agricultural: all food crops (wheat, corn, soybeans, barley…), indu...
Distillation happenswhen you heat a mix of corn, sugar, and yeast (this mix is called corn mash) in a big tank or pot. The heat causes the yeast to turn the sugar into alcohol, a process known as fermentation. I have been running my home still for a loooooooong time and distilled...
Ethanol in alcohol speeds up peristalsis, moving stools through your body faster. With less time to absorb water, stools will become looser and more watery. Certain alcoholic beverages are also more irritating to the intestines, including fermented beverages like beers.3 ...
Once we have established this long-run relationship, cost-of-carry arbitrage conditions that are specific to the corn, ethanol, and natural gas futures markets are used to calculate a nearby futures corn price forecast. Our results lend strong support to the forward equilibrium hypothesis even ...
When ethanol fuel started becoming a popular alternative fuel option in vehicles, the price of corn -- from which ethanol can be produced -- spiked. As another example, you may hear on the news about an oil refinery explosion where a supply of crude oil is compromised. This will cause ...
Wind energy, electric cars, hybrid cars, hydrogen fuel cells, biodiesel, ethanol -- the world of alternative energy can often seem strange and unpredictable. It turns out there are energy sources out there that are much more bizarre than corn and sugar. For the most part, almost anything ...
Should the Clean Air Act Be Used to Turn Petroleum Addicts into Alcoholics? This article suggests that the corn lobby, aided and abetted by the White House and Congress, has turned a pollution law into a program for subsidized prof...
