I've learned more about ethanol in the five years since I wrote this post, none of it good. But I am still encouraged by just how quickly and (relatively) inexpensively the switch was made. This is what I'm mainly saying here: that if we <i>want</i> to make good choices, if we <i>want</i> to fix our society, we can -- and quickly. All we need is the will. Rua Lupa, I absolutely agree.

As long as it is a intermediate step toward truly sustainable energy, then I don't mind. But if it continues to become main stream, I am concerned about the rich with vehicles and lighting ultimately leaving the poor go hungry and our environment degraded from clearing.

I believe many of the current events have to do with this senerio and it won't be long before the main stream media and population wake up and understand what is going on. For me and my family, we are preparing for the next generation. I believe that Hubberts peak is accurate and that we are now past the point of peak oil.
