[It’s best to just let the market play out. Let people figure out what to do in ways that work...and make sense in all forms, financial, moral, etc.]

+1 to that!

I’m now converting my main vehicle to E85 just to perform an experiment in competing technologies and micro-market forces. I predict that I’ll make significantly more power (because I can program the fuel and spark maps with a laptop to optimize efficiency for E85) but with the increased cost of fuel (per miles traveled) it should be a wash. Time will tell, but the real objective is to have more first hand knowledge about using alternative fuels than the talking heads preaching at us on TV.

I Like McClintock and know a bit about him and as a Kentuckian I suppose that is a bit odd. I took notice of him during the election when it seemed every porn star, actor and weirdo was running. This man would have made an excellent governor but instead a starry-eyed electorate voted for the actor. I hope American doesn’t make the same mistake in ‘08. Ethanol is not viable, it is nonsense and is no solution. At least it is no solution as long as it is so highly subsidized and is made from corn. So it won’t solve our dependency problems but will cause a rise in food costs and the public outrage will likely be something similar to what we just witnessed with Shamnesty.
