New Ethanol Fuels Lead Oil Alternatives Touted By President - Yahoo! News:
by Laura Mandaro -- 2/21/2006
"This week Bush touted ethanol, which can lessen the need for oil when mixed with gasoline. The U.S. already makes nearly 4 billion gallons of ethanol from corn. But the corn-based variety takes a lot of energy to make.
Scientists are more upbeat about ethanol from dedicated energy crops like switch grass or agricultural waste. The DOE says that could be five to six years away."
