this greenie thinks ethanol is a joke, and is no better than the oil we import now.. heck you still have to import oil to process the corn. it takes over a thousand gallons or water to make one gallon of corn ethanol. now the tequila will run out >:(  so insead of big oil, we get big corn.. it has always suprised me how free energy like the sun, wind, water. is never really looked into with much real interest.
