converting alternative fuels?

Forest Duttinger: Ethanol, while a wonderful idea, would in actuality create some serious problems for us here on Earth. To match the demand we carry for gasoline alone, you'd have to turn about every inch of our farmland into corn-growing, leaving no room for cattle or any other livestock. When you're ready to go vegan along w/ everyone else in the world, then ask that question.

Cassey Hollinghurst: Consider that if U add all the alternative fuels together it will not equal 1% of our fossil fuel use. There is not enough to make any difference.

They can be plugged into existing power grids. Less coal or nuclear power is necessary with wind-power. With future electric cars, you can charge your car at home, won't even have to go to gas stations.Cost is 2 cents a mile with electricity....Show more
