There isn't enough suitable farm land in all the U.S.A. to provide bio-fuels adequate to power the vehicles we now drive right here at home.
If we were to use that source for energy, we won't be able to grow any food.
Ethanol production has already pushed up the cost of our groceries. The price of everything from milk and eggs to beef, pork, chicken, and bread are increasing because of ethanol production NOW.
Need I say more? I can give lots of documentation to back that up, but common sense applied to this topic will quickly reveal the truth of what I am saying.

It would be a military lose for us... It takes much more time and energy to make Bio fuels then it does to process fossil fuels. Also whats the point? We are killing people may as well just kill the earth at the sametime.. ( kill two birds with one stone!)

that is just about the worst thing that could happen to this planet ,
the overall production produces more carbon than all of the motor cars and industrial pollution of the whole planet put together.
Apart from that it will poison the soils with the fertilizers,contaminate the waters with the pesticides,and wipe out all of the indigenous flora and fauna i the process

Because "they" ain't makin' dinosaurs any more and we can grow more ethanol as we need it. Until something better comes along this sounds good to me. Just wait and sometime someone will come up with something better.

So that large agribusinesses don't miss out on the opportunity of screwing up the world for profit. Why should big oil and the military-industrial complex have all the fun?
