Now Willie, you being an emotional cyber nobody, I can & do
understand your frustration with the situation, especially when
your own president is as useless as you are in influencing or
changing and much less controlling the situation, because of
opposing forces within his own government.... ahahahaha....
>
So Willie, you sound very patriotic and that is commendable.
You are a good man, Willie, and I wish you good luck... to
remind you from time to time that NOTHING gets solved nor
resolved on the UseNet. This is entertainment!... And if you do
believe differently... cool!... because then you will become,
like VD Scotty, the butt of my jokes and a source for my laughs....
So, keep up with in your endeavors... and I wish you well.
Thanks for the laughs... ahahaha... ahahahanson

I think they are going to be screwed this time around.
In S Europe solar PV is already price comparable with domestic mains.

(1) E85 in flex-fuel cars results in much lower air pollution.
Measured NOx emissions from flex-fuel cars is about 50% of that from
other cars. Particulates are almost nil. (If you actually read the
Jacobson paper, you will find his conclusions don't match his
analysis. If you don't know the paper, forget about it.)
(2) Most of the increase in world food prices is because of energy
costs to the farmer and to the fertilizer manufacturer, which have
doubled, at least, over the last few years. Diversion of corn to fuel
production accounts for only 5% of the increase, according to a study
by the US Dept. of Agriculture.

It's going to be a question of money v money.
The estimated market for domestic PV running matching mains electricity
costs is around 1500GW for the OECD nations by 2010.

And "flex fuel" is the key term. The compression ratio is really
designed for gasoline, not ethanol. Ethanol works in a flex fuel
engine but not as well as in an ethanol only engine.
As soon as they start using _only_ EtOH or _only_ E85 they will want
to exploit the higher compression ratios possible with EtOH.

No argument one way or other there.

You get points for putting V and Billie in their place. But you will
have to cite the source of all this excess production that you elude to.
There is cake, and there is eating it. If you have both, do point it out.
