Ethanol is less efficient!!!

It requires 1,500 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of ethanol. (Woe be unto hippies)

If the entire corn production of the US was devoted to ethanol production it would replace a whopping 9% of our gasoline use.

We have plenty of oil. Environmentalists are hell bent on making America weak and they are getting help in Congress. This problem is a government-made problem. If the market were permitted to work, there would be no issue. When there is a better alternative fuel (read: lower cost, more efficient) the market will bring it about.
