We have a lot of kudzu in the south but it grows in ravines and on hillsides.Quit screwing around with ethanol and start drilling more oil

If kudzuhol is viable then there's no need to choose between it and oil. If, as per the report, kudzuhol can be produced for about $1.30 per gallon then it should retail for less than $2.00 per gallon. That's pretty good.

Another good thing about kudzu is that you can't kill the stuff. Cut it down and it just grows back for you.

“Cut it down and it just grows back for you.”

Same with bamboo.

I’ve actually wondered if either of those dratted plants would work for fuel. Glad somebody’s trying.

The local paper reported success in controlling kudzu using goats.

You’d be choosing between corn,soybeans and kudzu.Ethanol is a loser no matter what you make it from. If it weren’t for your tax dollars the only thing it would be used for is whiskey
