I don’t think I agree with the author on this one. It’s not just the GOP that doesn’t like ethanol. Using food for fuel consumes massive quantities of fresh water, requires clearing untold acres for farmland, and is harmful for engines. It’s bad economics, bad for the environment and is bad for consumers. All Americans, both GOP and the DEMs have strong reasons to oppose corn-based fuel.

Now, if you have some ideas for bio-fuel from scrap waste products, that might make a bit more sense.

I wonder if it would be easier/better to make methane instead?

Awesome….Living in Florida, my grass clippings amount amount to over three 30 gallon garbage cans a week during the wet months. In the dryer months, I probably end up with that much in leaves. There are some brief periods in between where there is none…

This shows great promise. But what is the price per gallon?
