Comments on: University Funding Pulled For Anti-Biofuel Research http://gas2.org/2008/03/05/university-funding-pulled-for-anti-biofuel-research/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Honestly, though, I think the big giveaway that this isn't the answer is that we lose energy converting corn into ethanol (I believe it's something like 40% energy lost in the conversion). It is clear, corn is better left in its food state. The petroleum needs to be substituted, no question, but I don't think we have that answer today. Biofuels are certainly not going to be sufficient, even with the more efficient sugar cane ethanol. People in glass houses, jeff…

It most certainly is to blame for the rise in price, it may be indirectly through commodity speculators but bio fuels are causing that. Somebody should ask Joe how much money he has made since becoming the head of bio fuels industry council. Don't get me wrong it is an american write to make all the money you can, but don't wine if somebody else wants to make some to. What an IDIOT!

That's the part of the corn that otherwise would have been made into corn syrup. The corn oil, protein, vitamins and minerals are all still available to eat. So it's not just the oil companies that hate ethanol, it's also the soda and junk food companies. Seriously, check out how much the soda companies hate ethanol and then looks who's paying for anti-ethanol 'research'.
