He also seems to think that the only alternative to corn as a feed stock for ethanol production is sugar cane. He needs to learn about sweet sorghum which can be grown all over the USA for molasses to produce BUTANOL or ethanol. He needs to know that BUTANOL can be used in all our current vehicles and fueling infrastructure with no expensive modifications to replace gasoline, gallon for gallon. He also doesn't seem to know about cellulose to sugar technology or switchgrass. He cannot change anything without understanding the newest technologies.
