Being as Ethanole can be made from any plant material one wonders why we are encouraging the use of food crops. My experience with trying to grow a garden was mostly a huge battle to fend off the weeds to give my pathetic little veggies a chance to grow. Why don't they use weeds?
An article in Westworld (Autoclub Publication) says:
Brazil is now totally independent of OPEC. Flex-Fuel vehicles are the only thing that sells there. People will not buy Gasoline vehicles.
Further a company in New Mexico is making Ethanol from algae and expects to be able to supply ALL the vehicular fuel for the US market within 10 years.
There are conversion kits to switch over older vehicles to E85.
So when we pump our soil dry of oil and NG we will be at the mercy of those who have spent the time & money researching other forms of energy.
