Ethanol – Production of Ethanol Fuel

This is a great video on ethanol presented by the auto channel. Ethanol a renewable biofuel can be produced from corn, sugarcane, switchgrass, waste and even wood. This ethanol video discusses how Brazil became much more independent during the gas wars thirty years ago. During this period Brazil became the leader in ethanol production and powers the majority of cars today on Ethanol. There is no doubt that using food for ethanol production is a bad idea. However, there are many organizations working on ethanol production and I feel it is a matter of time before we find a way to produce ethanol fuel cost effectively without endangering our food supply.
