Rock- We could convert to an alcohol electric hybrid society
within 5 years if there was enough political clout and tax
incentives. Farmers would benefit, the ecology would benefit,
a whole new industrial and manufacturing base would usurp
the stranglehold that oil has on our economy.
We could also synthesize agri-oil from various plant based
oil sources and ramp up production of syndiesel. It is all
about the economics of scale. There are currently quite
a few grain alcohol fuel distillery's built and more being
planned. That is the future for the US, but it will take
large capital outlay investments to make the whole infrastructure workable.
