Re: Ethanol, again.

Quote:
" The social consequences are staggering. Since Ethanol fuels are inherently uneconomical. It costs (everything considered) $7.24 a gallon to produce and sells for roughly equal in price with gasoline as the $2.75 mark. The difference is made up by federal subsidies and the direct and indirect costs that farmers have to bear. The pressure for bringing the cost for inputs down is put on the shoulders of the poorest of the poor who are 'forced' into slave-labour type conditions for biomass production under which they are literally worked to death.
I don't know where you got that Lib, but its one of the dumbest anti Ethanol statements I've heard. The term Labour does smell, India maybe?

Corn requires 29 per cent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.
Maybe they should burn Ethanol, or better yet Bio-Diesel.
