Green=smoke and mirrors. Most alternative fuels sound good, but when you break down the energy and economics of them they’re big losers and not a replacement for petroleum-based fuels.

Same thing with ethanol, the price on the sign at the gas station is lower than the 100% gas stations, but when you total the up the decreased mileage you get, it isn’t a good trade off, but plenty of people are tricked into thinking they got a good deal.

creating bio-fuels is NOT EFFECTANT!!! It takes more energy to produce ETHANOL than Gasoline.

Just say no to ETHANOL!!!

Let the free market decide, it will make that decision based upon the most economical fuel, and the most efficient usage of resources. If it costs more, there is a reason. IT TAKES MORE RESOURCES TO PRODUCE, whether it be more water, more land, or more carbon based fuel sources.....flippin’ morons running this country.

DON'T BURN YOUR FOOD

Some of the non-food varieties, like algae based biofuel show some potential. But they have other problems, like creating a Frankenstein super fast growing bio-manipulated algae. God only help us if that stuff gets lose in the Ocean (for salt water varieties) or worse lakes and rivers (for the fresh water varieties). Kinda like building a fuel from bubonic plague plant in the middle of your city.
