  • Ethanol Is Oversold: Three Bounce Stocks - Barron's [View article]
    the corn ethics question - should corn be fed to cars or to humans that are starving all over the world?

    the corn energy problem - it takes a lot of fertilizer to create a pound of corn. fertilizer is made from - guess what? - natural gas. so we are making gasoline from natural gas. they were doing this in new zealand in the 1970's, NG to methanol to gasoline via Mobil's process. hydrogen for fertilizer could be made from coal (TVA was doing in the 1960's) but i don't see any stampede in this direction developing. corn growing also requires a lot of water, and at the right tine in the growing cycle.
