140 billion gallons of gas per year.
Maybe it will look better with zero's, instead of the word:
140,000,000,000
Nope; the number is just as depressing. I have to pump about ten gallons a week through those contraptions which stretch across our country from one side to another, and I depend upon that liquid for every facet of my life.
It has been proven by Brazil that alcohol can be produced on a scale necessary to meet a countries needs. Brazil has much fewer cars; they also have much less land, technical knowledge and work and industry forces. We can do this.
Every time I buy gasoline, and every time every other person buys gasoline, they help to finance
1 - Despotic Rulers (In three different continents)
2 - Arms and fighters flowing into Iraq
3 - The International arm of Al Quaida
4 - The groups and countries arrayed against Israel (I am not taking Israel's or the other's side).
5 - Government and business corruption on a vast scale.
At the same time, we are spending and have been spending our national treasure and world standing for the steady supply of this energy.
This has amounted to an invisible subsidy for the oil interests, on top of all the subsidies which are in plain sight.
When the true cost of doing business in the Mid East is figured into the price of a barrel of oil, alcohol comes out cheap.
And the best thing about it out of all the reasons to switch is this - no one can turn the tap off.
They can with oil, and they have before. That was about 32 years ago, and it was when Brazil started to switch to alcohol, and away from gasoline.
It took them almost that whole time to make the switch one hundred percent, which makes me think, if we can send a man to the moon, how soon could we switch? If we really put our minds to it?
Whatever the answer is, it will not be quick enough.

Bio-Diesel, www.biodiesel.org ... the best thing going.
Bio-D can be produced domestically using virgin soy oil, or with filtered waste vegitable oil. It can be run in most (if not all) modern diesel engines without any modification. Most importantly, it's being supported and championed by Willie Nelson, www.wnbiodiesel.com
Of course it does require you to have a diesel vehicle, and unfortunately not many are available in the consumer market. Old Mercedes, newer VW Jettas, and big ole pick-up trucks are pretty much what you have to choose from.
I have to say, when I put B20 in my tank, I smile and don't feel sad. I'll be smiling even bigger when temperatures warm back up and I'm able to fill up with B99 (Yup! only 1% real diesel... screw you Oil companies... screw you Middle East!)
