Read up on cellulosic ethanol,

Unfortunately virtually all of the ethanol made here comes from corn.


That doesn't mean we're going to be forever stupid.

Without the farm subsidies ethanol would be very expensive.


Right, let's do...nothing.

Doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing. Ethanol still has
not proved it's value.



There are other agricultural alternatives to corn ethanol. If we come up
with something, I'd like it owned by the people instead of by big,
multi-national corporations. We need to move away from "corporate uber
alles."


Who do you think controls most of the farming? You are just trading
Exxon for ADM but you can bet your ass Exxon would still be right in
the middle of it.


It doesn't have to be that way. We don't have to be under the thumb of
huge corporations. I've stated several times that we need a major
restructuring in this country, one that "rebalances" our economy so that
it works for middle and lower income workers and families. I don't know
whether that rebalancing will come about peacefully.

In a future political climate it may be possibly to restrict the
development and sale of alternative energy sources to small corporations
or not-for-profit entities.

In our lives here, we're not particularly restricted by governmental
rules and regulations. The impact of large corporations is a negative in
almost everything, and large corporations have their thumbs on almost
everything.

We've got to get rid of "corporate uber alles," or this won't be a
country worth living in.
