Not to mention the amount of corn required to make the stuff! Food prices are rocketing because of increased ethanol production; food costs in sub-Saharan Africa have risen 110% because of the worldwide market price for corn, which has been driven up due to ethanol producers buying massive amounts of the crop. Mr. Peppers is right...this stuff is a bad idea in more ways than one. Finally someone has chosen to show the real problems with corn-based ethanol.

what do you actually know about ethanol? because if you knew anything you would know that is not actually all that bad for the enviroment, yes it may not be perfectly safe; but it is a much safer fuel than gasoline!

ehtanol is a bad alternative to fossile fuels but it is better then nothing. There are lots of problemes with the whole idea of using corn as an alternative fuel but it is one of the only things we have to use with our tecnology at this point, so it is not all bad, but not even close to being all good either.
