1. Are they discussing how ethanol will probably do more harm than good?

There's a study, their conclusions are very interesting:

3. I've been listening

my first (real bitter) thought was the anti-environmentalists screeching "how useless and dumb alternative fuels are!!!" :eyes:

It's a interesting show though!

6. some of us environmentalists think they might be useless and dumb, too.

just sayin.

7. you feel we should keep burning oil?

when I think "alternative energy" I don't mean any certain kind, just anything but burning trash and pumping tons more into the air. Glad to meet the environmentalist who thinks that's the way to keep going :)

8. Burning oil isn't the only way to ruin a biosphere.

9. no kidding. My mocking..

was NOT of people who know the differences in energies other than oil (... ) It was of people I used to know online, people who drove me to DU where I could be around people who understood that ALTERNATIVES are our only way.
I assumed people posting in this forum kept in mind there are tons of different types.

peace.
