  • When you say make oil are you referring to synthetic?

  • Why would anyone want to use oil to make ethanol? you dont even need to dig for oil in the ground when you can make oil.

  • Wrong wrong wrong.

    Ethanol is not our long term solution. By using the oil from corn to create ethanol you are simply driving the demand for grain up which would result in higher prices on the food we rely on. Ethanol is nothing more then a band aid for a would requiring stitches.

    I have a really good feeling natural gas or propane could be out next big movement because with a slight conversion the cars we have today would run off of either one.
