  It is my opinion that ethanol will do several things none of them very good.

  People don't factor in how much petroleum it takes to produce corn or sugar cane or whatever you intend on distilling. They also neglect to factor in the energy required in the distillation process.  Where is this energy derived?  Coal, NatGas or?  No matter how you slice it the hidden costs are numerous and they far outstrip the usefulness of this energy carrier.

  Lastly this is to provoke thought and friendly discourse, not spin anyone up :-)
