Calling E20 “sugarcane juice” is pure WhatsApp misinformation. Science says fermentation and distillation turn sugarcane into high octane Ethanol that cuts emissions and reduces engine knocking. Nitin Gadkari deserves credit for advancing green fuel and supporting farmers. 20Cr+ vehicles are already running smoothly with zero manufacturer recalls. Facts beat propaganda.

THE E20 DEBATE: FACTS VS HYPOCRISY. HERE'S AN UNDENIABLE FACT: The E20 programme did not begin under the Modi government. Ethanol blending was approved years earlier, during the UPA. The difference is in execution. Blending remained stuck at roughly 1–1.5% for years before accelerating significantly under the NDA. So, let's first get the politics out of the way. If ethanol blending was acceptable in principle then, why is it suddenly portrayed as anti-people now? Now, let's look at the arguments being presented by critics: CRITICS ARGUMENT 1: E20 FUEL IS BEING PUSHED BY NDA TO KEEP SUGAR CANE FARMERS HAPPY. There's no doubt Ethanol is creating an additional income stream for sugarcane farmers. But governments have always handed out subsidies or incentives to farmers. + MSP exists for 23 crops. Sugar cane farmers get SAP or State Advised Price. + Fertiliser subsidies. + Cheap or free electricity. + Irrigation subsidies. + Procurement policies. If these benefits to farmers are accepted as legitimate public policy, why is E20 policy being targeted in isolation for market distortion? CRITICS ARGUMENT 2: ETHANOL PRODUCTION IS WATER CONSUMING. Yes, sugarcane consumes a great deal of water. But so do + Paddy cultivators. Just look at the tumbling water tables in Punjab, Haryana. + AI and data centers. + Semiconductor manufacturing. + Steel and cement production. The question is not whether something uses water, but whether the benefits justify the costs. Again why are critics holding E20 alone to a test that they don't set for others? CRITICS ARGUMENT 3: THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT MAKE E20 MANDATORY. LEAVE IT TO CHOICE. We're in a democracy and choice matters. But governments routinely make decisions that we, the people have no choice but to accept. + Taxation rates + Emission norms. + Fuel quality standards. + Safety regulations. + Identity Proof. These are often choices imposed to achieve broader national goals. Shouldn't E20 should be judged in the same way? Here's how E20 usage serves NATIONAL INTEREST: + India imports 85–90% of its crude oil. E20 seeks to address that by replacing up to 20% of petrol volume with domestically produced ethanol, helping diversify the fuel mix and reducing import costs. + With E20 NDA estimates saving Rs 1 lakh crore in foreign-exchange. CRITICS ARGUMENT 4: COST OF CAR ENGINE WEAR AND TEAR, MILEAGE INEFFICIENCY OUTWEIGHS BENEFITS. It is true that Ethanol has about 34% less energy per litre than petrol. But because E20 contains only 20% ethanol, the overall energy content of the fuel falls by roughly 4%–7%. So at 5% a car that gives 20 km/L on pure petrol will give 19km/L. But usage also improves air quality. Which increases longevity in humans and lowers healthcare costs over time. That is s fair trade-off. CONCLUSION: Every policy is a trade off. E20 isn't perfect. But if agricultural subsidies, procurement, irrigation policy and fuel regulations are accepted as legitimate public policy, then judge ethanol using the same yardstick.

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "...I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the fuel. For example, if you look at it from the automotive sector, there is a lot of myth that if you use E20 blended fuel, vehicles will get damaged. It's a myth. It doesn't happen this way. There's a lot of myth about the amount of mileage loss or the fuel efficiency loss. Yes, there is some fuel efficiency loss, no doubt. But it is not so big as it is being made out to be...E85 and E100, that is, 85% ethanol and 100 % ethanol, are not meant for regular cars. It is meant for a different type of technology, which is called a flex fuel vehicle. This vehicle can take any mix of ethanol. So people need not worry. E20 is the standard fuel that will be available, and it is compatible with old vehicles and new vehicles. All vehicles sold after 1st of April 2023 are fully materially compliant with E20. And people need to be reassured that in 2021, before we went into E20, there was a very detailed scientific study done by the leading automobile testing agency in the country, which is ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India). It clearly established that the possible damage to cars and two wheelers which are old is not there. It's very insignificant. And it also established that the fuel efficiency loss is to the extent of 2 to 4 per cent, not significant." On ethanol, he says, "As per the latest statistics from the government, the program so far has helped save 1.9 trillion rupees. Out of that, 1,60,000 crores has gone to farmers. So in the case of India, it's not only helped us to in some way mitigate the energy crisis, but it's also helped us to help the farmers...The reason why not just India, but many other countries are doing it is for energy security, for the agrarian economy, as well as for fighting climate change and environmental purposes."

India's mobility revolution has entered a new chapter. 🇮🇳 Today, along with Shri Nitin Gadkari Ji, we witnessed the launch of Hero MotoCorp's Splendor+ and HF Deluxe Flex Fuel motorcycles, capable of running on ethanol blends from E20 to E85. This is far more than the launch of a new vehicle. It is the convergence of India's energy security mission, our commitment to clean mobility, and our resolve to build an #AatmaNirbharBharat. Over 300 million two-wheelers ply on Indian roads today. Imagine the impact when even a fraction of them begin running on fuel produced from Indian farms rather than imported crude oil. A decade ago, ethanol blending in India stood at just 1.5%. Today, India has achieved 20% ethanol blending, one of the fastest energy transitions anywhere in the world. The benefits are immense. ✅ Reduced dependence on imported oil ✅ Lower foreign exchange outgo ✅ Cleaner transportation ✅ Additional income opportunities for our farmers Every litre of ethanol blended into fuel reduces India's import burden and strengthens our energy independence. Our farmers are no longer only Annadatas. They are increasingly becoming Urjadatas, contributing directly to India's energy future. The scale of this opportunity is extraordinary. Even if flex-fuel vehicles account for just 1% of annual petrol vehicle sales, they can generate demand for nearly 4 crore litres of ethanol every year, resulting in payments of around ₹266 crore to distilleries, savings of approximately ₹195 crore in foreign exchange, and direct economic benefits of nearly ₹160 crore flowing to our farmers. Having witnessed Brazil's successful flex-fuel journey firsthand, I have seen how transformative this technology can be for an entire nation. Today, India begins writing its own success story. A future where Indian vehicles are powered by Indian innovation, Indian farmers, and Indian energy. The road ahead is cleaner. The road ahead is greener. The road ahead is more self-reliant. And that journey has begun.

Tehseen Poonawalla is absolutely right & must be supported by everyone univocally on this issue. If you don’t support him, you risk your valuable vehicles which are at risk now. The forced E20 ethanol blending policy has become a textbook case of conflict of interest, lack of transparency, and disregard for the common citizen. How people of India are being treated as Guinea pigs for trials and how their only precious asset a 2,3 or 4 wheeler is risked is appalling, brazen and shames less and that to benefit Mr Gadkari’s son 😡 While Union Minister Nitin Gadkari aggressively pushes mandatory E20 — claiming it helps farmers and cuts imports — his own sons reportedly have direct business interests in ethanol distilleries that have seen massive revenue surges. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri defends it by comparing our daily drivers to racing cars and downplays mileage drops, engine wear, and the complete absence of consumer choice. This is unacceptable. Citizens have every right to choose between E20 and regular petrol. Old cars, new cars, bikes — all are being forced into an untested rollout without proper public disclosure of ARAI reports or impact studies. When policy benefits connected businesses while harming vehicle owners and wallets, accountability must follow. Let’s take a note of the fact that ICICI Lombard has refused to settle claims for issues related to vehicle damages in this context. Tehseen’s demand is fully justified — Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri must be sacked, without further delay. The people of India deserve transparency, choice, and ministers who put the nation before family business interests.

Meet Mahalingappa Itnal, a farmer from Karnataka who just changed the game.🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽 For centuries, jaggery (gur) has been made almost exclusively from sugarcane, a crop that takes nearly a full year to grow and demands huge amounts of water. But Mahalingappa stood in his corn fields and asked a question so simple it had been overlooked for generations: “Why are we throwing away the stalks?” Corn stalks are usually treated as waste and burned, discarded, or left to rot after the harvest. Mahalingappa saw potential instead of waste. Through experimentation and persistence, he figured out how to extract juice from corn stalks and convert it into jaggery. The result? A nutritious, natural sweetener made from a crop that matures in just 90–120 days. This single insight quietly disrupts an entire system. Corn requires far less water than sugarcane, grows faster, and is already cultivated widely across India. Farmers can now earn additional income from what was once agricultural waste, without waiting a full year for returns. Less water stress. Less burning of crop residue. More resilience for small farmers. What makes this even more powerful is that the solution didn’t come from a lab, a multinational, or a billion dollar agri-tech firm. It came from lived knowledge, observation, and indigenous innovation , something Indian farmers have always had, but are rarely credited for. Time and again, traditional wisdom and grassroots innovation were dismissed as “unscientific” or “backward.” Only later does modern science arrive to validate what farmers already knew instinctively: that nature wastes nothing, and sustainability lies in working with the land, not extracting from it. Mahalingappa Itnal didn’t just make jaggery from corn stalks. He redefined waste, challenged monoculture thinking, and reminded us that some of the most powerful innovations grow quietly in our fields. Yes, corn stalk jaggery is more nutritional, not by hype, but by chemistry and biology. This is the future of agriculture. It’s local, regenerative, farmer-led.

“In a recent interview, Shri Nitin Gadkari ji said that if you want petrol without ethanol, it’s available you can fill ₹168-per-litre premium petrol. Today, I got my tank filled with that fuel. The bill? ₹7,800 for one tank. On a regular basis, I use E20, which costs me around ₹4,500–₹4,800 for a full tank. Even that is a significant expense. I drive nearly 2,000 kilometres every month, and fuel is already one of my biggest monthly costs. Now imagine asking an average middle-class family to spend nearly ₹8,000 every time they fill their tank. Is that really a choice? A choice exists only when the alternatives are reasonably accessible. If one option is priced so high that most people simply cannot afford it, then for the vast majority of citizens, there is effectively no choice at all. This isn’t about opposing ethanol. It’s about asking a simple question: Should affordability determine whether a citizen has access to conventional petrol? Many middle-class families are already managing rising household expenses, education costs, healthcare bills, and EMIs. Expecting them to absorb such a steep increase in fuel costs feels disconnected from the financial reality millions of Indians face. As citizens, we deserve policies that balance national objectives with consumer rights, affordability, and genuine freedom of choice. That is the conversation we should be having.” Bharat Bachao Aandolan Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 Dinesh Rattan Dhillon Nachiket Deshpande Ishaan Bharadwaj

FOLLOW THE MONEY: HOW BILLIONS IN GRANTS KEEP THE CLIMATE ALARM MACHINE RUNNING That's one of the biggest red flags in this whole climate debate—and I've been calling it out for years: the scientists pushing the nonstop "crisis" narrative aren't out there hunting for raw truth. They're guarding their funding lifeline with everything they've got. Ian Plimer drops the mic on this in his latest interviews (like that explosive Triggernometry one): "Follow the money." It's that simple. Government agencies—NSF, NASA, NOAA—are pumping out billions every year into climate-related research. NSF's budget clocks in around $8-9 billion overall, with massive chunks funneled into geosciences and climate programs. NASA's science directorate pulls in over $7 billion. NOAA's climate and research efforts grab hundreds of millions to billions in targeted dollars (recent FY26 bills kept NOAA around $6 billion total, with science/research holding steady despite attempted cuts elsewhere). Here's the catch: Grants flow freely to projects that scream "urgent catastrophe," model apocalyptic scenarios, and back big policy pushes like net-zero mandates. But if your work echoes Plimer's geological reality—high CO₂ levels in the past paired with massive ice ages, natural cycles driving most change, no runaway warming from trace human emissions—your proposal gets sidelined. Labs shrink. Careers stall. Funding vanishes. It's a classic conflict of interest baked right into the system. These researchers depend on federal grants for staff, equipment, publications, conferences—everything. Rock the boat by questioning the CO₂-doomsday story, and you're suddenly on the outside looking in. No wonder the so-called "consensus" feels unbreakable—it's financially engineered, not scientifically earned. Plimer's reel cuts straight through the noise: This isn't about following evidence wherever it leads. It's a self-perpetuating grant empire dressed up as urgent science. The cash shapes the conclusions, not the other way around. True science thrives on skepticism and debate, not trillion-dollar incentives to echo the approved line. You've been spot-on hammering this point forever, and it's more relevant now than ever. Voices like Plimer's are breaking through because the truth doesn't need subsidies to stand tall. Share if you've seen the same grift for years! Let's keep exposing it. #FollowTheMoney #ClimateGrants

❗️❗️❗️🇺🇦🇷🇺 The cracks in Moscow’s propaganda machine are widening into a crater as another prominent "Z-patriot" defects from the Kremlin’s narrative, exposing the internal rot and military failure of the Russian regime from the safety of Europe. In a scathing, high-profile interview with Russian blogger Pavel Ivanov, Dmitry Borisenko—a well-known pro-war journalist and the voice behind the analytical outlet Glavred Borisenko—completely shattered the Kremlin's illusions. Borisenko bluntly declared that the invasion of Ukraine was a catastrophic "mistake" that must end immediately, warning that the disastrous policies of Vladimir Putin and his inner circle have pushed Russia to the brink of absolute ruin. Recognizing that truth is a capital offense inside Russia, Borisenko admitted he is only able to speak out because he fled to Serbia, confirming he has zero intention of returning to face the regime's retaliation. This high-level defection is a devastating psychological blow to the Kremlin's domestic front. Borisenko, who spent over a year closely analyzing the conflict, had already been sounding the alarm on the Russian military’s incompetent leadership and their horrific, meat-grinder human wave tactics. His public turn from staunch ultra-nationalist to calling for Putin’s outright resignation proves that even the regime's most dedicated mouthpieces now recognize the undeniable reality: America and its allies have turned the Ukraine campaign into a strategic dead end for Russia, leaving Moscow’s elite with no choice but to run or watch the collapse from within.
