Asking ”what is tagalog” is really disrespectful waste of everybody’s time.
That maybe a bit of an ironic opinion in this community. :)
The phrase ”english and tagalog” clearly indicates that it’s a language. Moreover, it is a single word, which is really, really easy to use a search engine for.
I get that but clarification can be helpful for the next 100 people that read the thread. Chances are most people won’t search it but they still wouldn’t mind knowing anyway.
Maybe I should’ve put an ‘um aCtUaLlY’ in front of the first point as I knew you weren’t saying it literally. I didn’t mean to insult or to put you down, I know we all have different things that annoy us. Anyway thanks for being so gracious and empathetic. :)
No, they are not. Big tech corps don’t care about you, they care about profit. They will gladly assist in genocide for a bit more profit.
There is really no need to reply with that to tell someone to search something themselves. There are better ways to encourage someone to look something up than that.
It is also lowkey annoying to ask a question and get a glib answer like that.
I would say it is mostly an awareness thing. Electric vehicles are thought of as the best for the environment and people aren’t really aware or don’t care that they can cut their Co2 related output by about ~50% with their existing ICE vehicle. People just don’t know that they can choose to use a different fuel and have environmental benefits that way because no one from the car makers to the gas pumps really advertised or educated them on it.
A few car makers did have branded Flex fuel cars but really they were only branded that way to take advantage of a poorly crafted government tax credit. Many existing cars that can run e85 have no indication that they can run it and run cleaner with it which can lead to less maintenance issues and make the mechanic’s job easier.
With that said ethanol is in some respects a worse fuel, since it attracts water which doesn’t play nice with burning and as you mentioned is not as dense, but it is a much better fuel from an environmental perspective. Neither of those issues are deal breaker’s since you can just fill up a little more often or add a fuel additive occasionally to dehydrate the fuel.
I also think maybe the politics of farm subsidies for corn and ethanol are also somewhat of an issue, since massive government subsidies for corn growing and ethanol production are unfairly distorting the market quite a bit. But then again that’s par for the course compared with oil.
I have heard that most of the producers of ethanol have been bought out and taken over by oil companies, so I wouldn’t expect them to make a serious effort to promote it’s benefits or compete well since the oil companies wouldn’t like that.
