| Louisiana has figured out that ethanol from corn is an inefficient stupid
| process and produced legislation to back it.
| http://news.mongabay.com/2008/0701-ethanol.html
| Now if the rest of the states can follow.
| Farm lobby by d$*^#d. No more corn subsidies..
|
|  And what about Butanol.
|
| From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butanol_fuel
|
| Butanol better tolerates water contamination and is less corrosive than
| ethanol and more suitable for distribution through existing pipelines
| (important to an efficient use MK)
|
| High octane rating .
|
| Higher specific energy than ethanol
|
| The feedstocks are the same as for ethanol: energy crops such as sugar
| beets, sugar cane, corn grain, wheat and cassava as well as agricultural
| byproducts such as straw and corn stalks (reference needed).
|
| Can be made from Algae
|
| We need nuclear power and a better battery for autos.
| We need energy independence.

One word SUGAR.

If politicians really meant what they say they'd approve other sources such
as industrial hemp.  (it's a weed after all)
