| 3. I once heard it takes 1.2 barrels of oil to make 1 barrel of ethanol. |

In short, surely there are better solutions -- such as 'clean coal' plus light rail transit?
Hell, dump some of the government subsidy into the oil industry and divert that to coal + light rail and voila! Oil usage plummets, the net difference in pollution would be an astronomical improvement... it's WIN-WIN. The execs still have their patents and their ability to retire on money that could last them a thousand years and more if they used only $50,000/yr... a wage most corporations seem to think is too much for an American.  |
