I'm all for alternative energy by any means.
If it's economical, it'll be used and it should be encouraged.
Let's end dependence on ME oil and let them eat sand.
I heard an interesting fact this week. If they took all the corn produced in this country (and I mean all - even the feed corn etc.) and used it to create Ethanol, it would still only equate to roughly 10 percent of our fuel needs. Ethanol as an alternative to gas is a pipe dream. We do need to end our dependance on ME oil, and we need to start drilling in the gulf and Alaska.
