These folks bashing on BioFuels based on the current moment are just stupid. I would claim this was a Saudi conspiracy except alot of folks who I respect are spouting the same stuff.

We are in the process of transitioning to a significant presence of ethanol based fuels in our society but we are also faced with a Chicken and Egg issue. The Government is pushing through this barrier via a number of programs.

Ultimately the step up to E85 as a significant player in the auto fuel market will bring down the cost of Oil and Ethanol both. And, in the pipeline are newer technologies that will replace grain based ethanol in the next 5 years.

There was an article in the paper the other day about a company in Wisconsin making biofuel from switch grass. It’s cheaper to produce and more efficient.

Oil is the lifeblood of the American economy, it cannot be replaced at this time, or in the near future.

I encourage you to read Walter William’s recent article on this topic. Please do so and give us your opinion on what he has to say.

For instance; to produce one gallon of ethanol, from to seed to “fuel”, more than one gallon of fossil fuel is used.

If biofuels were so great they wouldn't need over a dollar per gallon in government support.

Biofuels are nothing more than taxpayer and consumer payoffs to farm states and their politicians.

Why?

And, in the pipeline are newer technologies that will replace grain based ethanol in the next 5 years.

Where will these new ethanol plants be located?

Some folks are so stupid, they don’t know how stupid they are.
