Hey, I keep an open mind about fuel, esp. at the pump! Biodiesel is another promising avenue. There may be some good arguments against ethanol, it’s just strange to me that the article didn’t list any, and left out the fact the food isn’t being diverted from starving grandparents as some would like you to believe. In general too, it is practically impossible for people to come to the right conclusions about issues and things if the facts they are given aren’t really facts but some kind of fear mongering editorial posing as science and such. In cases like these it really helps to see who or what is funding the debate if all they have is “facts” that aren’t really facts.

Here are the valid arguments ethanol. Government subsidy, energy per unit and energy used to produce such unit. Yes, the article should mention these things but doesn’t. The food argument is the most emotional and effective.
