I'll have to echo what Duffman just said. Sorry to say, above these prices corn ethanol actually saves money, but fortunately alternative sources of ethanol will very likely become a reality. Oil sands were abandoned as an option until recent years, but now production is cost-justified. Lithium batteries will become cheaper to make every year, and once their life-cycles have ended, recycling will accelerate the decline of prices. I just hope solar technology can make solar energy so cheap that you'd have to be a fool to neglect it.

Follow the money........
