Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil

Ethanol is a ridiculous answer to the oil crisis. That's trading one antiquated fuel for a close relative. Industry needs to be encouraged to think outside the box, beyond antiquated internal combustion engines.
If you read the current literature, fantastic strides are being made in discovering unbelievable sources of minimally polluting power. The answers are out there, but ethanol is not even a good bandaid.
If the government outlawed the manufacturing of internal combustion engines by 2010 you'd see some quick answers from industry. An absurd statement, I know, but GM is not about to get off it's ass for anything.
