A Mail to Andy,
You're half-right about the Ethanol scam.
True, ethanol produces less energy gallon-per-gallon than gasoline, requiring more gallons of fuel to propel a car the same distance, so all the lower-cost-gas estimates are comparing two disparate things. But it is still a viable fuel... when it's created from the appropriate source.
Corn is just about the worst source imaginable. There are many other plants – non-edible ones, even, that won't deplete the world's food resources – that produce two, five, or even ten times as much fuel per acre of planting.
The hands down winner, however, is algae, which can produce 10,000 gallons of oil per acre of land, and which uses waste carbon dioxide from industrial smoke stacks as a nutrient, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the process.
Conspiracy theorists have opined that the ethanol-from-corn scam is a joint product of the agribusiness and big oil companies, to make a quick buck while discrediting ethanol as a potential fuel source.
