Thank you for the information. I agree with you about ethanol from corn. We might not produce sugar cane as cheaply in the US as they do in Brazil but that doesn't mean we have to get our ethanol from corn. The fact that we use corn is apparently mostly a political thing. The corn lobby is powerful enough to get the subsidies as well as import barriers against competing production from overseas. The bio oil idea might work out better, and there are other ideas as well, many of which haven't made economic sense until recently, and perhaps still don't make economic sense but they will make more and more sense as the technology improves and as oil prices go higher over the years.
