The question is difficult to answer. If we don't have non-renewable oil, then I would have to pay for whatever fuel would run my life. I don't see that I have a choice.

I'm not sure ethanol is the answer. Is it electric powered cars? Hybrids?

What we really need is unbiased, non-political scientific study, with emphasis on unbiased. I doubt that can happen, but I do hold out hope that it will, and that we will awaken to that fact sooner or later. Governments' populist pandering will not help us. What we need is research.

I need facts, honest, unfeeling facts to make my decision and to answer you question intelligently.

If ethanol is the only way, then I will have to pay. I hope I can afford it.

I grudgingly pay the price of a gallon now, and I don't see that it would be any different with ethanol.

All this, though, assumes that we will never again have viable public transit. Could that be another answer? Research could help us with that question.

When we get to the point that we don't have enough oil to which to add the ethanol, taking the train might no be so bad.

But I have taken your question too far afield. Sorry.
