   Are you saying that you want ethanol fuel or not?

   to subsidize ethanol E85 is not the solution because ethanol E85 is not viable.

   Other things have to be developped to replace oil.

   You are the lowest paid teacher I ever heard of. You need to change jobs if you are truthful.

   Screw ethanol. We need that land to grow food. We need electric cars powered by solar generated electricity. Europe is way ahead of us.

   He is dumb enough to do this. Tell your students to stop drinking cool aid.

   Hey teach – use the spell checker!!!

   The people who can’t afford corn products can’t afford a Flex Fuel Vehicle or an Ethanol conversion kit so what is the difference?

   And for those of you who think the ethanol is driving up the price of food – you are clueless. Diesel used to be $1.20 per gallon and now it’s $4 a gallon. It’s diesel fuel making food more expensive, not ethanol.
