Ethanol, despite getting all the press, has a lot of problems. One, it's expensive (currently around 3.00/gal to produce). Secondly, there couldn't possibly be enough of it to make a large dent in the oil need (If all corn grown in the US was made into ethanol, it would only replace 12% of the crude we now use for gasoline.) And third, it has a lower return of energy than gas which means cars would have to burn even more of it (lower mpg).
What are your thoughts on alternative fuels?
