Personally, I am not sold on ethanol. For one we need the corn as food, in one form or another.
Wait till people start complaining about the price of food going through the roof, because al of the corn is being routed to ethanol production.
There are a number of other issue's as well.
Alternative fuels. Ethanol, bio diesel, etc. Pres Bush recently stated that we should have as a goal 20% of our fuel needs met with ethanol and biodiesel at some point in the future. Folks, there isn't enough land in the US to grow the crops necessary to do this and feed ourselves. Then there is all the energy to make those fuels. I guess we'll just have to import it.
