Cellulose based ethanol is the alternative to starch based that we currently use. Capital costs are too high for cellulose based plants AND we already have corn. Current government will never stop using corn for fuel because they are all a bunch of stupid people that don't want to invest in useful technologies.

We arent making ethanol with mostly corn. It is primarily made with other substances like grasses and sugarcane because farmers realized driving with our food is dumb.yes, the tech exists, and yes its being used. Corn is only one of many ethanol production base stocks. Take a class or do research in the area before repeating discredited nonsense. Correlation does NOT equal causation.
My "nonsense" is not discredited. And if ethanol was so great, why do we need the government to mandate it.
Taxes suck.
Thats my point-we arent being price gouged.
Im not at all, where did i say that? Stable currency would be nice but will never happen though. Never has in all of history.

If ethanol was a useful technology, it would not need a government mandate to be viable because some dude out the private sector would be capitalizing off of it.

We need to return to the gold standard. Until(if ever) we do, our currency will not be stable.
Ethanol is not the answer to our energy problems. The gov mandates it because it brings in more tax revenue. All government is corrupt at some level as all people are corrupt at some level.
The world is broken. If I had time, resources and talent I would be working my ass off to find a way to create a viable cold fusion power source.
Back when the taxes were low and there weren't so many damn regulations to tell people what NOT to do, some guys on the east coast figured out how to FLY on their FARM. A couple of rednecks playing in the garage. Where did all the ingenuity go?
You are all way smarter than me, if we put our heads together we could solve the world's energy problems and buy enough non-ethanol gas to drive our classic cars fast for the rest of our lives!

There I learned it is all up to a bunch of suits that don't know a damn thing about engineering. They make all the decisions. We are hopeless unless we get more engineering people into political positions. They all think engineering is just a bunch of machines that don't deserve funding instead of every damn thing you use every day of your life.

I truly wish I was born in this country 100 years prior.
