For some of the reasons you site, I might be wise not to mention that there are "pros" for using ethanol.

Good evaluation. There are, indeed, "Pros" to using Ethanol. Perhaps when (if) Cellulosic ethanol develops more, one part of the equation will balance.

I completely agree with the conclusion of conservation. The problem is: America does not conserve, in majority, without being forced to do so. The populace likes "alternatives" that produce the same power -- as ethanol and Bio-D offers. The ethanol cars I drove made much more power when on E-85 vs. 87-octane, but it didn't even-out in cost, emissions, and sustainability. IMHO, these outweigh dependence on foreign oil, world market impact, and other Pros.

For me, it's the environment and public health first.
