Would you rather buy 91,000 BTUs from people who will use the money to buy materals to build bombs and entice others to carry them to our shores and kill us, or would you rather spend that money to buy 75,000 BTUs from American farmers and factory workers who support our country and are willing to send their young men to die defending our country from the bombers?

You just don't get it do you. That 75,000 BTU requires that you buy 91,000 BTU of foreign energy (worst case). Best case it requires that you buy 71,000 of foreign BTUs. Those tractors to do all the corn planting, the fertilizer plants all run on fossl fuel that has to come from someplace. The ONLY way that the 75,000 is all American is if you get it ALL from domestic coal, and if you're getting it from coal, then you're a lot better off using Fischer Tropsch. Ethanol fuel is nothing but a fat corporate welfare program to make ADM and similar companies grow fatter from the rest of us. Oh and you can skip the jingoist bullsh.t I'm trying to have a rational discussion here.

I do get it.

You don't want to answer my direct, and simple question because it doesn't serve your interest.

So much for your rationality.
