[11th Commandment]

Let's get the whole story out: A significant fact is that gasoline from petroleum has 115,400 MIDDLE EASTERN Thermal Units per gallon whereas alcohol (ethanol) has only 75,670 AMERICAN Thermal Units per gallon, or, alcohol has only .66 the energy of gasoline.

Oops! An INCONVENIENT TRUTH.

There you go again Mr. Gore. This "fact" totally ignores that US gasoline comes primarily from North American Sources. BTW- Ethanol uses fertilizers that are petroleum based.
