28. I got what you said...that growing huge corn for Gas would take away
from what we need to feed ourselves. ...I'm just going by what I've read about the difficulties of mass production of corn getting transported from MidWest to the big cities on East and West Coast.

Any way one looks at it...the dream of ETHANOL as solving all problems with a little Nuke thrown in...just isn't going to work. But, it doesn't mean that some places in the MidWest coudn't use extra corn production to fuel a few cities or lots of cars ...if they don't ship it they don't need to produce huge excess amounts and that other alternitives might be REGIONAL OPTIONS as to how they could go.

that's what I was trying to say. :shrug:
