Yes Ethanol from corn is not the best way to go but it is a start. We are coming up with new ways to produce ethanol everyday. If we stop the production of ethanol we stop the investors and scientists that are working on better forms of ethanol. Also Ethanol burns up 89% cleaner than gasoline. On the point of Electric cars there runs a problem like any other form what are they going to do with all the batteries when they start failing in a few years? LAND FILL tell me how that is any good.
Ethanol from corn is very low energy yeild and the government needs to stop subsidizing corn farming and stop giving a tax break to E85. There is nothing clean about ethanol.
Electricity is a cheaper, cleaner source of domestically produced fuel.
Why always corn (eg yellow) though. You can also produce ethanol from grasses. Perhaps the corn lobby has their hands into the government just a little too deep.
Dear a1mint: Thank you for the comment. My fault as a cinematographer - if you look close next to the corn (on the right side of the corn) you will see sugar cane. I filmed this event to support the idea of alternative fuel. It was the first time it was offered in south Florida and I wanted to document the event for posterity. Thanks again for the comment. Sincerely, Bruce Merwin, director of photography.
