And lets not get hung up on corn.
Ethanol can come from hundereds of sources.
If corn gets people interested in ethanol, it's a win-win.
Corn is not the only way.
Also, the amount of fertilizer and pesticides used per acre in farming has been going down year after year. In fact, part of the 70% of corn that comes OUT of an ethanol plant ( Distiller's Grain ) can be used as fertilizer for next year's crop, and it turns out, is also an effective weed preventer.
The amount of energy required to drive a car is huge.
Where do
YOU want to buy
YOUR energy from?
Middle East?
Or Middle America?
