I think it's only one(though a big one) of a great many things coming together to form the solution to our energy problems. America needs to be energy independant. In fact, Every nation needs to be energy independent...not gonna happen - but it would be ideal.
Anyways, it can now be efficiently produced, for (relatively) cheap, and it's now unbelieveably clean. Cellulosic from Coskata will reduce C02 emmissions by ~84% when compared to gasoline from 'well' to wheel......(hint, hint...~85% reduction in emissions, E85....now lets do E100, and see the emissions coming out of those)
I like it, and if it can be implimented ASAP, and effectively. It can save our V8's. <- If Maximum Bob thinks so...well, dang it, that's good enough for me. It's an excellent relatively short-term fuel solution. But what's gonna happen when we don't need Ethanol anymore - when electric vehicles become so efficient that one charge will last you 1000 miles? Well...I don't think that day's gonna happen, and if it does, then I probably won't be around for it. So kudos to my (future) kids.
Ethanol is a viable, "short-term", fuel solution, and one that I firmly believe needs to be addressed and implemented, as GM keeps saying, NOW.
