It also takes a lot of fuel to make it. From what I have found it takes 4 gallons of gas to make 5 gallons of ethanol. How much of it is true who knows. I do know that the farmers selling their corn for fuel are making a fortune and I hope our incoming president takes away their farm subsodies like he said he is gonna do.
As for it being a viable alternative, I have a carberator to sell. :D
Uses tons of water to produce, pollutes even more in the long run then gas. They can keep it. Hydrogen is the future and battery power. We as a nation have the experts to make it happen so lets do it. At the same time we revoke all patents so the gas tycoons who bought them up can't force the price through the roof.
I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.
