COMPLETE FOOTPRINT OF BIOFUEL, OR IS IT??

Growing corn for ethanol is going to do more damage than good received from ethanol production. The research supports this fact overwhelmingly. I have been saying this all along.
NO ONE steps UP and reports the REAL facts except the data THAT sounds good TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOLKS WHO WORSHIP GW.

Corn grown ethanol made in the U.S. will pollute more, cost more to produce and don't forget what the costs will be for fertilizers and extra fuel for harvesting. Remember, the E85 fuels sounds good, but you have to order a special engine from General Motors to burn the fuel and the engine is an extra cost option in their vehicles.
What about older vehicles burning E85, and if you live in the midwest where ethanol refineries are located, than that is a different situation. Also, where are the E85 pumps in our area, other areas. I have not seen any in Georgia.

NET RESULT, NOT VERY FAVORABLE. DID YOU FORGET WHAT THE CORN USED FOR ETHANOL WILL DO TO FOOD COSTS???

WAKE UP FOLKS, ARE THERE ARE BETTER PRODUCTS FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION IN THE U.S. THAN CORN?? Yes research dollars are being spent in this area and some answers will be revealed.
Let's spend our time investing our dollars into THE BEST PRODUCTS TO PRODUCT ETHANOL instead of just rushing to decide corn grown in the U.S. will be the only answer to our fuel woes.

I AM JUST REPORTING THE INFO AS WRITTEN. As a nation, can we face the real facts instead of following the herd?? We need to look at all the facts and choose the options that will benefit the general population and the U.S. the most. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
