Here is an idea that the Republicans, oil, tobacco companies will hate.

How about we plant sugar cane or sugar beets in the states of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana. We encourage them to stop planting tobacco which is killing millions. Sugar cane or sugar beets are 7 times more efficient than corn in making ethanol.

You want proof that it works? Just google Brazil and find out for yourself. Now, you won’t be using a food product or even displacing a food product……

In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted that population growth would be perennially held in “check” by inherent limits to food production. … Energy can substitute for food in his theory but when the energy is the food……catastrophe will result.

Completely renewable and no one is hurt except for those purveyors of death the tobacco companies.

I would sure like to know the idiot who decided to use corn (a food product) and doomed ethanol to failure. Had to be an oilman!

Stop the tax subsidies to corn farmers and give them to sugar cane and sugar beet farmers, in the mean time eliminate import tariffs for ethanol. Allow the import of flex-cars made by our very own car company Chevy….

Come on all you Democrats in Congress are you going to give us more of the same or are you going to make a difference? Do something now to prove you are not just more of the same…… and I mean minions of the oil companies….

OH! This could all be done in one year……….No more dependence on foreign oil. What ever happened to common sense in America? You know, if we can’t straighten out a simple mess like this we deserve to fade away as a has been leading nation……

It is real simple folks; America has been sabotaged by special interests namely the oil companies including those from the Middle East who want to sell oil, oil, oil.

Cars are already to go, made by Chevy and Ford! They are called flex-cars and burn any combination of oil and ethanol.

Ethanol made from sugar cane and sugar beets is 7 times more efficient than ethanol made from corn and won’t affect the food supply. Sugar beets can be grown damn near everywhere while sugar cane can be grown in the southern states.

You have got to stop listening to the oil companies as they have screwed everything up for years now…… The oil companies own the White House and Congress. Who in the hell do you think choose ‘CORN’ to make ethanol out of which was doomed to failure even before they began. Who do you think put a tariff on imported ethanol?

Oil companies have no solutions but to drill more, true energy independence will not involve oil companies. You have got to stop listening to the oil companies as they have screwed everything up……

The solution to energy independence is ethanol and E85 fuel which our cars can burn right now! It is renewable, Right Now!!!! If something comes up later fine but right now the answer is E85 ethanol.

Removing the tariff from imported ethanol would give us access to cheap ethanol.

You have got to stop listening to the oil companies as they have screwed everything up……

The truth is available in Brazil; they have been using E85. Check it out for yourself….

Don’t you find it ironic that the White House and Congress along with the oil companies still want to send more and more of our cash over to the Middle East to support our sworn enemies, the terrorists? What the hell is that all about?

Ford and Chevy are taking a beating so why don’t they use their heads and put E85 fuel pumps at their dealerships and push that their cars will run on 85% ethanol.

How about importing small Ford and Chevy cars from Europe that get much more mileage than our local huge pieces of steel.
