High gas prices are annoying, certainly topping many people's collection of the most frustrating aspects of modern life. In this natural frustration, many people are seduced by populist rhetoric about the need for price controls and other such interventionist nonsense. Before you also fall for this unfortunate trap, do yourself (and your country) a favor by recognizing the true effect and significance of high gas prices.

All this troll does is posts the articles from the prometheus Institute
Is that you Matt? Matt Harrison?
Do you read anything other than the Prometheus Institute?
Is this about gasoline? What is gasoline, anyway?
All the more reason we should switch to diesel and Biodiesel fueled engines on a national scale. Ethanol alone just won't make it...........
There's likely more traffic here than at PI. How would anybody ever see what he writes if he didn't post it to FR?
As an aside, I'd LOVE to work for some organization with the name of "The Prometheus Institute."
That's the way I felt after bean burritos for dinner last night.
Ethanol, the Great Green Hope for alternative energy zealots, isn't catching on because it's too expensive relative to gas. An easy solution? Make gas more expensive.
Ethanol has lower energy content and delivers fewer Miles Per Gallon. We already notice it with 90/10% Gas/Ethanol.
This means we have to buy more fuel than ever, by volume, and the article already agrees tha it will be still more expensive.
Therefore, a larger percentage of household income will be spent for fuels...Fuels that have lower energy content.
So in a sense, at least, the Arabs win a battle. Not the war, but a battle, at least.
If we CAN switch to oxygenates we need a more efficient and faster way to make them-Faster than a scaled-up moonshine still.
Is that a reference to Bill & Monica?
Oh yeah? We had Korean yesterday for lunch. 14 side dishes, nearly all of them varities of kimchi. I was practically an alternative fuel source all by myself. Good thing I don't smoke.
After filling up a tank of gas several times recently in Canada at $4+ a gallon I'm thinking we have it pretty good with our gas prices here in the States.
The perfect fuel?

Agreed. Ethanol is just pie in the sky.... as a direct substitute for gasoline.
