Twiceshy asks:Duped Again?
It looks like auto makers are going for broke with hybrids, which has pushed ethanol to the back of the line. In fact, I have seen interviews with people in ethanol production stating it might be another 7 to 10 years before they develop the technology to the point where corn isn't used for ethanol production, which is the big obstacle to mass production. Moving from corn to corn stalks should be an easy shift.
Do you think we are being duped again?
If so, who do you think it behind it?
I have a hard time believing this, since we all know that potatoes and other veggies will yield vodka.

ethonol is crap...
it is a dead end when world wide food shortages are predictied and as ethonol is not a purely carbon free commodity. i say hydrogen is the future... apart from supplying the water, maybe nature can helps us in this too, by providing us with that high efficiency hydrogen yielding bacterium. (right now, as we don't have such microscopic benignty in aid of us, the ccommersive hydrogen is not a feasibility)

We're Not Sure About The "Crap" Part
That Keewi believes, though we are positive that bacteria plays no part in hydrogen fuel-cell technology. We agree with Keewi that the hydrogen fuel-cell is, in the end, the most promising, albeit also the most difficult to achieve.
Comments:
contemporarily, hydrogen comes to be available at very high cost mainly because of the high expenses involved in building of the hydrogen yielding contraptions. imagine that we would have no need for such mechanisms and only were "harvesting" it!...
and about ethanol... not one the thins mentioned here justifies ethanol being legible in the severe face of the famine forecasts.
but, other than "food items" ethonol, as a less dependable fuel, could produced from "hemp plant"... to which i reluctantly agree.

Distilled from corn, also.

I think that...
as usual, automakers are trying to take the wasy way out. The apparently see ethanol development as being much more difficult than hybrid development.
