Have you ever been to Brazil, cowboy? It ain't all it's cracked up to
be. They use alchohol for fuel, yes, but you can't breathe the air.
Rio and San Paulo both have so much foul air that it makes your throat
hurt and your eyes water and sting. Besides, there ain't enough corn
in all of the earth to keep us going.

first, how recent is your information on Brazil?? If not in the past decade,
it is completely impertinent to the discussion. Second, all ethanol need not
come from corn
(and, yes, there is a hell of a lot of it,but maybe not enough), sugar cane
comes to mind at the top of a list of a few hundred products which can be
distilled to produce it.

You are correct, but Dave is correct also. It might work for Brazil,
but at the current efficiency there isn't enough corn/sugar cane/etc
to supply a country like the US.
