It requires more energy to produce one gallon of ethanol than the energy contained by that gallon.

The problem is that this whole ethanol utopia was thought out by a bunch of non-technical, non-principled, political morons instead of thermodynamicists.

Drill baby, drill.

Exactly. Even leftists don't champion ethanol anymore. It certainly wasn't mentioned in the latest SOTU.

YES... Drill, dig, nuke. Also, windmill, geothermal, hydro, solar panel, conservation. If we want to break the yoke of foreign oil we need an "All of the above" energy policy -- leave NO stone unturned. I pledge $100 in campaign donations to the first politician that aggressively pursue EVERY energy source at America's disposal... and I don't care what letter comes after their name. But they have to REALLY follow through on EVERY energy source.
