I totally agree with you on this one. Also, it takes nearly as much oil to produce the corn as the ethanol you get.

ethanol is a hoax rivaled only by global warming. Government; please stay out of my life!

Excellent! Also, unlike growning corn, which depletes the soil of carbon, growing switchgrass ADDS carbon to the soil, so it becomes richer. Switchgrass (prairie grass) grows wild, and is neither food for human nor animal.

Also, cars can never challenge the food supply because human beings can never digest as much energy as cars can. I hope you're not funded by some middle eastern terrorist group.

What he said. Cellulosic ethanol is the best.

You are absolutely correct!
It´s basically tha.

Ethanol can be made from corn, sugar cane, sugar beets, hemp, cardboard, newpaper. Corn is not the only source of ethanol, it is just the most traditional source. Corn isn't even the best source of ethanol.

A few questions about Ethanol: Isn't Ethanol a better option in countries like Brazil, where it can be made with Sugar Cane instead of corn. I have read (don't know if it is true) that Ethanol blends reduce your mileage, yet increase gas prices, is it true? Is biodisel a better option?

Your facts are obsolete.
In Brasil ethanol from corn is cheaper-per-mile than gasoline. Their proof is at-the-pump.
Using 'corn' does drive up food costs.
The solution?
Don't use corn!
Use SWITCHGRASS.
Keep your eyes on Tennessee.
ORNL is refining the process to produce ethenol from switchgrass - which needs no fertilizer or irrigation. 30% of TN fuel from switchgrass ethanol is planned within five years, and factories for this are already planned.

Ethanol from switchgrass produces more ethanol and doesn't require any fertilizer. Ethanol burns cleaner and it also reduces CO2 emissions significantly. The US has enough land to grow enough ethanol for the entire country and even if it is imported from Brazil they still have lots of waste land to grow food on. After all Brazilians will receive money from selling Ethanol to invest in farming equipment - like the Iranians receive money from you to invest in nuclear bombs.
