Some articles I have read said it is actually jacking the price up some. [:0] <br /> <br />I hope to post some more info on ethanol in the next few days that will give us more info about it. <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />OK <br /> <br />I am going to start the info I promised but just have not had time to post. I have a series of questions and some answers about ethanol that are interesting. You can make your own judgement on ethanol after reading the info I will post. <br /> <br />Here we go. <br /> <br />High gas prices are making other fuels increasingly attractive, one alternative fuel that has received much attention is ethanol. Some hail ethanol, which can be derived from many plants including corn, wheat, barley and sugarcane, as a savior of American energy policy, while others see it as a fad popularized by its heavily subsidized corporate backers. <br /> <br />The reality is complex. Though still a tiny industry compared to gas, ethanol could become a more prominent part of the U.S. and world fuel supply in coming years. <br /> <br />Still, as ethanol's public profile rises, there's plenty of misinformation swirling around and a host of questions. What exactly is ethanol? How is it made and used? And is it really a viable alternative to gas? Here's what you need to know now. <br /> <br />I will start the questions tomorrow. [;)] <br /> <br />
