We have the ability to start using E85 right NOW, if we can get it into
Service Station's Pumps. If we start selling it, the profit boys sure as
hell will start making it.

Max, do you understand what I'm saying? I want Ethanol,if it will make
us fuel independent!! Is that clear enough for your BIAS (?) MIND?

Problem is, and you can look this up, is that it takes MORE than 1 gallon of
fossil fuels to produce 1 gallon of ethanol. The "profit boys" are currently
being subsidized heavily by the federal government to produce ethanol. There
is no "magic bullet", regardless of what the folks at BP say.
