A good read about ethanol. I had some schmuck argue this exact point to me the other day. The part about it costing more than you get out of it.

I am researching solar panel systems for my house. I get a lot of sun, and I would like to get as much off the grid as possible. We here in Montana are paying one of the highest electricity rates in the U.S. 10.2 cents a killowatt hour.

Screw ethanol... your vehicle burns the crap faster. It is also causing a HUGE dead zone in the Gulf because all the farmers want to grow corn now.

I still think that shoving a pipe up your wazoo, and connecting it to your gas tank while eating some cajun food is the greenest way to go. (Yes, I will accept the Nobel Prize, thank you)
