I love you ethanol bashers. In your dirt tracker you were using METHANOL, completely different animal.
I realize ethanol and methanol are different, but they are both forms of alcohol made from different products... BTUs are similar.
Not saying you guys all buy the Chinese stuff at Wally World, but I see a lot of people doing it, some even raise corn. You can say that the only product you can find is Chinese or Indian or whatever, but it started somewhere and if no one bought it to begin with, it might well still be "Made in the USA".
As for corn ethanol not being as efficient as sugar cain or switchgrass, I know for a fact they are working on increasing the sugar content of corn just for ethanol... I have a great niece, grad of Iowa St., that is working on just that for a seed company. Someday it will happen... just not sure it's that great right now.
