Re: Gas prices Ethanol is a huge cash cow for agri-business, but economically, it blows for the rest of us.
Our energy policy is so weak. We waste huge amounts, we're weak on conservation, and we're weak on renew-ables, too.
One thing that may come out of these high energy prices (along with the pain and suffering of the consumer) is we *may* actually get other sensible energy technologies moving in a big way... and we may also get much more energy efficient vehicles.... But will we crash our economy first. Signs point to yes, unfortunately.

League City, TX | We need to have a President (Could careless who) to stand up and do something about this VERY weak energy policy. Perhaps go as far as investing hundreds of billions of dollars into Hydrogen and/or Biofuel and just go all out because were so far behind in development. It makes me sick hearing GM and other company's blab about making alternate energy cars.
I think the worse one is the E85 cars the biggest joke I've ever heard. I've seen a hundred or so with in a year in this area and there are ZERO gas stations that carry it in this area.
