Re: OT: Gas Prices
Until there is a cheap, reliable, and scalable method to convert cellulose crop waste into ethanol and misc other chemicals (one would hope fertilizers for the next generation of crops...), ethanol is not the way out. Hopefully some of the research dollars going into biotech can finance a marketable solution. I'm not holding my breath yet.
I suppose American taste in cars doesn't help either. Or the fact that many Americans are so gullible when it comes to marketing claims. For example, I saw an ad for a new Lexus car, a "green, SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle)"... that gets 23mpg. That does not strike me as Super Ultra Low Emissions...
