An Ethanol question.

All I know is it takes fewer acres of sugar beets to create ethanol than corn, so if you're somewhere that you could grow either, grow the sugar beets instead. You get more bang for the buck with them. That aside, using up farmland to make fuel instead of food doesn't seem too bright, especially since making ethanol uses more energy than it's worth. What I did was buy cars that run on natural gas (methane). It's super cheap to fill up ($10) and clean for the environment. Ethanol still uses oil while natural gas doesn't, plus the USA has plenty of it, so the money stays in our own economy. Lots of upside. I'll list some sources if you'd like to look into it for yourself!
