Re: Are Biofuels the Answer?

The article: Green Dreams

Seems pretty balanced.  Did you notice how the price of EtOH vs gasoline and the MPG energy ratios have nearly reached parity?  That's going to be the driving force for change.  I believe this is actually a good thing, but it will cause some disruptions.  Now how can we get the gummint out of the picture?  Then and only then will we see the true energy balance of EtOH.

I still maintain that the *best* solution is in the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle; with the emphasis on the first R -- REDUCE.  It's hard to beat conservation, it's also the least painful option.  The  confusion arises when  the listener _hears_ "elimination" even though no one said that.
