Jeff, I agree with you completely about ethanol.. not a good long term
solution as it is already causing food prices to skyrocket, and at
best could be an expensive short term stop gap with no long term
benefit.
I dont agree at all with your stance on drilling.
All the new drilling could not be a long term solution.
I think we need to pursue new technologies now to lessen our oil
dependence and reduce environmental impact.
I am eager to see how the Chevy Volt, Mitsubi**** Miev turn out, as I
think they are a step in the right direction.
