Good news.

The problem is that if they switch to a liquid alternative, then that company will just get greedy just like the oil companies. There is already talk of such greed within the ethanol business

well greed isnt the problem. We just need to get rid of oil dependancy and handle the other problems when that is done.

it is cleaner. The main problem with ethanol is that it might cost more energy to produce it than it yields if you produce it from corn.
But countries like brazil have managed to replace 40% of gasoline with ethanol from sugarcanes.

I heard corn is the least efficient way to make ethanol. But I'm sure with all the corn subsidies in the US thats what we will make it from.

but its pointless to make ethanol out of corn. You use more fuel when making ethanol out of corn than you get back.

Well there is no shortage now. But in 20 years there will be. Better if big buisness gets rid of its oil dependancy now instead of later.
