Corn ethanol is not a solution and anyone should be able to see that from looking at the EPA's own calculations about Ethanol's green house gas reductions. After all, it takes 33 years just to break even on emissions when you take the entire life cycle into account. Here is a good article that talks about it from The Greener Truth http://thegreenertruth.com/2010/02/the-ethanol-life-cycle/ The EPA’s new regulations are a step in the right direction, but the problem is that there are thousands of miles to go.
