but it sure is helping line the pockets of the CORN industry which is actually where a lot of this "pressure" for ethanol is coming from.

sadly it has nothing to do with alternative fuels or being green so much as whose pockets get "lined" with cash.

The only alternative fuel that is CONSUMER friendly is Pure Electric cars.

Every other alternative currently in existence that I know of EXCEPT MAYBE bio diesel (which is not very green) sacrifices consumer benefits for corporate benefits.

Hydrogen is the worst. its a double slap in the face. It can use electricity like EV's but has ZERO consumer benefits besides being cleaner. its 100% a corporate friendly fuel.
