"Corn producers or ethanol producers, to whom are you referring?"
I was referring to corn farmers that sell their crop to produce ethanol.
"In what way is that farm bill ridiculous?"
Farmers are having a record year. Taxing citizens to pay farmers subsidies when they are doing better than they ever have is ridiculous (subsidies in general are economically inefficient ... should be used as a last resort to keep producers afloat, etc ...).
"Switchgrass grows well in a tropical climate?"
I have no idea. I thought I'd toss it out there for discussion. Maybe it could use its own thread? Maybe I should have searched here for "switchgrass" first?
"Fuel economy in what units? Btu's per mile? $ per mile?"
I was calculating MPGs. I suppose $ per mile is just another conversion factor from that figure. No idea how to arrive at BTUs per mile without doing some research first. ... just hadn't occurred to me.
