Also, a lot of that energy goes into transportation by truck. Getting ethanol out of MN and Iowa burns a lot of fuel. Piping it is generally less dangerous from an accident POV (I'm not going to delve into terrorism arguments here) and would dramatically drop the cost of transportation.
Plus, I'd guess there's an economy of scale -- the more it sees widespread use, the lower the cost of production per unit drops. --Ben Howie Hamlin wrote: > But, if you use alternate forms of energy to produce it (hydro, whatever) > then you lessen your dependence on foreign oil which, IMHO, is a big bonus. > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:161658 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
