c'mon Joe, CAMPAIGN DOLLARS! yet the Ford plant still goes away! What Tim-o should have done is fund the development for development of a new Ranger pickup....the state of Hockey should have foot the bill for the new Ranger..he tried to lure Ford with more ethanol subsidies but in the end Ford's pockets are getting greased more by wherever is building the next Ranger.
My wife's hometown is in the process of building an ethanol plant. Folks around there think its the second coming....for sure, they can grow their own fuel for their fuel sucking chariots. Bet if I showed them the article, it'd piss many off. I've read plenty of the exact same type of stuff about ethanol before. My position on it these days is its good and bad. Its nice to diversify and give us another fuel option, but folks need to know that more about it right now is that its more a farm subsidy than anything. Folks are totally oblivious to how much $$$$ gets pumped into farm subsidies anyways so whatever.
Note the graphic in the article....FIFTY PERCENT of our oil comes from WESTERN HEMISPHERE....NOT IRAQ WE SHOULD BE SUCKING UP TO OUR CANADIAN BUDDIES AND WHOA THOSE ILLEGALS FROM MEXICO CAN NEVER BE A BAD THING!
when we can truly corral all the wind's and sun's power and turn it into electricity, that will be our best solution. Hydrogen has promise. Long term, FUSION / Nuclear will have to be discovered.
