I've only briefly touched on the subject,and there is much more research to be done. I believe there is money to be made in this field. I also believe ethanol has potential as an alternative fuel. This lessens the dependance of foreign oil. After all, corn doesn't grow well in the Middle East. Corn is but one source. Lets discuss Ethanol as an alternative fuel, and any related topics. Lets keep politics only as it relates to the business aspects, on this subject.
