[QUOTE="brett636, post: 314349, member: 249"] I agree that we need to convert ourselves to a different fuel source, but ethanol is not the answer right now. Last I read we can convert every kernal of corn we produce into ethanol and it will only satisfy 12% of our current fuel needs. Ethanol can be a good fuel source, but we need to research better methods of extracting it. A process currently in development would produce what is called "cellulostic ethanol". Basically converting the cellulose in plant cell walls into ethanol allowing us to convert practically any plant material into ethanol. We could convert not only the corn, but the stalks, leaves, roots, etc. Getting refineries online that can do this process is still several years away. For right now we just have to suffer. :biting: [/QUOTE]
