The Future of Ethanol

One word - lobbyists
look at how even Obama is in the tank for corn ethanol...dismissing the idea of doing away with the 54 cent tariff on cane ethanol...

Death of the SUV

When it comes to the US auto industry I don't get the manufacturers...we have all known for years that oil would be a diminishing resource...today we have a terrible bio-fuel program and auto makers are still making gas only engines and the govt has not put into play the design of an infrastructure for re-new able energy. We are so far behind the curve and it's not just the auto industry. Brazil is currently selling more cane based ethanol than gasoline - oh yeah - that's because GM supplies most of the E85 vehicles...and they use sugar [non protein] for ethanol and they have a complete system to get
ethanol to the consumers. [seen any E85 stations in your area - not mine] Yes - SUVs as they are configured today will become a relic...
but we have problems bigger than an SUV to now fix...
