I say don't hold your breath waiting for ethanol, because it might take another 50 years before we need it.
and whom would those stupid people be? Nobody toted that it would be the fuel of the future, just like it as an alternative. If you dont like it..fine dont use it. Nobody said it would be the end all of fuels. It would be nice to have atleast a percentage of the country using it, so we do not end up relying that heavily on oil.
Right now, it is not that efficient to produce, as it would take alot of crops and farmland just to support or needs.
But there is more technology being developed out there as we speak.
if it wasnt a good alternative then why is gm/ford producing so many flexfuel vehicles compatible with it?
even if the goverment did drill for more oil, what do you think theyll do with it?
fucking sell it to other countries like they are doing right now.
dont call people stupid because you cant grasp the idea of of anything else out there becuase you are narrow minded .
this is not a pissing match. was not a debate either, i was simply asking when will we get it, as some parts of the country already are.
so what if it doesnt work out..hey atleast some of us tried.
