  • Ethanol Is Dead: How You Can Still Profit From It
    "And remember, the government subsidies for ethanol are minor in comparison to those paid to the oil industry. "

    Agreed. And we are still paying those--why?

    "There's always a new crop year"

    Farming 101: Corn is expensive to grow and requires LOTS of chemical fertilization. Arable land is a finite resource. Water is a finite resource. Farming is weather dependent.

  • Ethanol Is Dead: How You Can Still Profit From It
    Food (Corn)-based ethanol is for morons. It has been known for years that you use more energy making it than you get out. I defer judgment on exotic ethanol production methods-- switchgrass etc. Investing in corn-ethanol-- a scientifically doomed endeavor-- is "bubble" investing. The Brazil/ sugarcane process might not translate to the US at all and might be totally unsustainable-- aren't they having huge deforestation/clear cutting issues in the rain forest?

    Cars HAVE to be mostly electric in the future-- hybrids of various types. The electricity HAS to come from a sensible source-- not coal, not oil. We need nukes plus conservation plus wind plus wave plus solar. We don't have enough good farm land or water to feed BOTH people and cars sustainably on the scale required.

  • Tough Week for Ethanol Stocks
    Ethanol is a bubble. It make NO SENSE technologically, since you use more energy than you get. It ONLY exists to feed farm subsidy money to Republican Bible Belt States.
