[Healeys] Ethenol from Time Magazine

A great deal of that data is based around corn based ethanol.  All
ethanol production is not the same.  We in the US are focusing on corn
because of the subsidies.  Read the Time article about sugar
production and check out the wiki link in my other email about ethanol
biomass.

I don't believe we will see a magic bullet in our lifetime that will
solve all of this, but I do believe that with a combination of
technology we have affable today, coupled with refinement of processes
and economies of scale, we will find workable, affordable answers to
maintaining our quality of life.
