Thanks for the comments. I think that we’re in a pretty dire situation regarding alternative fuels – not just in terms of the environment, but in terms of running out of oil. Whether we like it or not, at some point in the future we’re going to completely exhaust the world’s oil reserves and we need to be ready for it well in advance.

Corn ethanol reduces CO2, but how much? Say we go to the USDA max corn level. Say we use the Academy of Sciences optimistic value for CO2 savings.
And the answer is, … 0.13%, about 1/10 of 1% of total US GHG emissions! There are good alternatives. Why should corn ethanol get the $7 billion/year (and growing) subsidy? Well, you know why. Full, clear documentation here: http:zFacts.com/p/60.html

If does Buch buy brazilian ethanol, made by sugar cane, the american ethanol’ll not be expensive.
The brazilian ethanol it’s not expensive, it’s the lowest price of world, and the best technology too.
