Why am I not surprised that last years panacea was not mentioned once--ethanol. What will the next gimmick be after deep-water peters out? Didn't Bush mention oil shale in the talk? Bush knows the game. Keep the idiots distracted just one more time. Twisted Evil

No no, the president still likes Ethanol.
If it keeps us from using oil/petrol driving cars, I reckon the distillers will be running as much overtime as the printing presses. drunken_smilie

Again, I don't want to be a "I told you so," but if you go back and look at the strategy we put out early on in this administration, we understood what was coming. We knew the markets were going to be tight. And therefore, we called for additional exploration at home, plus what has been happening, which is an acceleration of new technologies -- including ethanol technologies -- to get us less dependent on crude oil from overseas.

My best friend is a claims adjuster for Metlife. He tells me they are seeing a rise in ethanol auto claims. Apparently ethanol rots plastics and rubber engine parts faster.

It also causes failures of judgment and raises response times.
