How about a few numbers!!!!!!!!! If we take the entire 07 corn crop of about 13 billion bushels and convert it to ethanol we would get roughly 38 billion gallons of ethanol ---- the transportation fuel market in the USA is 435 - 450 billion gallons -- we cannot even supply 10% of the market and next year corn acres will probably decline several million acres -- even though we corn producers love ethanol, it is not the answer to our energy problems -- one side note, the E85 promotion by GM and other auto makers is not so "green" in an environmental sense but rather in a $$$ sense because they get a Gov't kickback of several hundred dollars for each flexfuel auto they build!!!! The energy crisis is much greater than most people can comprehend!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
