what this article forgot to mention is the billions that are armed forces spend to secure the oil before it gets to our refineries

yea… thats part of the cost… ethanol dont have to worry about that, but it makes 1/10 of the power of gas, and corn ethanol cant be produced fast enough to compete with gas. and that makes gas cheaper or the same price as ethanol, with more ethanol needed to = consumption of gas

“Drill in the Arctic and whereever else there’s oil, and build nuclear plants like crazy.”

what this article forgot to mention is the billions that are armed forces spend to secure the oil before it gets to our refineries. I have seen studies that say if the true price of gas was charged to the public it would be more that $10.00 per gallion. but of course this bias reporter didn’t mention this.

ethanol will never be cheaper than gas. it just cant happen with our economy.

corn costs too much to grow and it dosent turn out enough. what we need to do is legalize harmless, THC-free hemp and use that for everything… that can make ethanol cheaper than corn and still be used for textiles

It’s the crass publication Rolling Stone, what do you expect?

Want cheap gas? Conquer the dictatorships of the Middle East, Drill in the Arctic and whereever else there’s oil, and build nuclear plants like crazy.

Most anti-ethanol articles and sentiments mention the high use of water in production. Surprised they didn’t. Wait, it’s RS. Ohhhh, ok. For a second I thought I was reading a researched short thesis. People in IL and IA have been using ethanol blended gasoline for decades. I suppose a higher octane fuel at a price lower than regular unleaded is just too hard to fathom. I’ve researched and argued for at least a 10% E blend and it’s here. However, I do have to agree that Ethanol’s current hype is political. But of course if one has done any research in alt. fuels we know bio-diesel is the way to go. But I still like Ethanol. (At all stages of production!)
