Opinion
by Reden Rodriguez on January 25, 2007

1. Ethanol is now an accepted alternative and possible substitute (for some) of the USA's petroleum requirement. Sure there are so many issues here that are good to discuss, but let me leave the motherhood statement as is first and say that renewable energy advocates are rejoicing by the fact that biofuels are now seriously and politically considered by the US government.
2. The US through the US President, has acknowledged the need to act against global warming. Hopefully this will translate to positive action towards reducing GHG emissions across America, one of the largest polluters of this planet.
3. Renewable energy for cars is a first and hopefully not the last time it will be mentioned in a State of the Union Address. Again, many arguments here (I welcome your opinions! Send them to me!) but this officially encourages developers to find means and ways of making renewable energy technologies for vehicles become a reality, right?
I will come up with a compilation of "expert" reactions on these points. Till then!

I agree--it's nice to see ethanol and global warming officially mentioned by President Bush. But I see ethanol as a false step. There's just too much oil that goes into producing the corn that makes the majority of ethanol. Cellulosic ethanol is a better idea, but it's further away. I say put the money into other alternate energies. In the meantime, we should up the minimum fuel efficiencies for all cars in the U.S. I just blogged about this at: http://www.wastedfood.com/2007/01/31/corn-in-our-sides/
