Louisiana has figured out that ethanol from corn is an inefficient stupid
process and produced legislation to back it.

Now if the rest of the states can follow.
Farm lobby by d$*^#d. No more corn subsidies..
And what about Butanol.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butanol_fuel
Butanol better tolerates water contamination and is less corrosive than
ethanol and more suitable for distribution through existing pipelines
(important to an efficient use MK)
High octane rating .
Higher specific energy than ethanol
The feedstocks are the same as for ethanol: energy crops such as sugar
beets, sugar cane, corn grain, wheat and cassava as well as agricultural
byproducts such as straw and corn stalks (reference needed).
Can be made from Algae
We need nuclear power and a better battery for autos.
We need energy independence.
