Lot's of unintended consequences of switching to etanol.

We're all just gonna have to sit around and cry now. Hopefully the wonderful government will come and save us from our despair.

On a related note in the column,
white Democrats in Colorado voted against school choice for Latino children.

Let the poor eat white flour tortillas! Ethanol, full steam ahead! Liberal compassion is so heart-warming.

I found that to be pretty darn funny, too.

Ethanol from corn is foolish. Corn produces far less sugar per acer than sugar caine. This whole ethanol/energy independence is just another scheme to subsidize corn farmers.
As far as it taking food from the mouths of the starving. BS, they are staving which means the don't have food now. LOL
Seriously, countries like Africa and Mexico have plenty of rich farm land that can be developed to support their growing populations.
If you are looking for an organic source of fuel, try bio-desil. At least that way you can directly use the plants oils rather than have a bacteria "eat" the sugar in it and then try and distill the ethanol it produces. Furthermore, the BTU of ethanol sucks!

Make your own. Probably a wash as far as price goes. Too many regulations. Like the one where you have to make it so it isn't drinkable. Zoning laws might be a problem, also.
That being said, this is a good site.

That is one of the big negatives. In Colorado, we have to use 10% ethanol in the winter and it really knocks my mileage down.

We do - in that one of the byproducts of the ethanol production process is animal feed...eat beef, pork, chicke, etc. that has been fed distillers grains. Oh, yeah, then there's other co-products that end up in the food chain too, like cheese curls, pancake mix, corn oil, and CO2 that can be used to make soft drinks. Let us all eat ethanol.

anything that attracts moisture is not good for your fuel system.(also why it can't be moved via pipeline)

Ethanol- the unsustainable burning of food. Don't they realize that growing all of this additional corn is going to cause a water shortage?
