At the risk of beating a dead horse, I would like to point out an article in Tuesday's New York Times about how ethanol plants are starting to be met with some resistance. Again, I do not want to always present the negative aspects of ethanol; I merely want to present the side that I do not think is represented as often as the other. As time goes on, people are coming down off of the "ethanol is our savior stage" and are realizing that we, as a nation, better think about the different alternative fuels and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Something to think about:
Do you think all of the talk about ethanol and other alternative fuels is just hype? Or is there real substance (and possibility) behind it?

I think all the talk about alternative fuels is just hype. I think our country is too stuck on oil to switch. Sure a couple thousand people will switch, or find an alternative...but as a big picture, we're all too lazy and cheap to change. So we'll just keep buying gas as it gets higher because we don't want to change our cars, or modify them to run off of some other fuels.
I personally think there's substance to the talk of alternative fuels. At least, in the sense that if we Americans get off our lazy butts and make the effort to switch, it will solve a lot of problems. But as long as we keep up the "Good idea. Bad location" state of mind mentioned in the article, it's going to be "someone else's problem" and we'll never see a change.
That's my two cents, anyway!
