I hope gas prices go up so maybe people/companies can be more eco-friendly.
Costs will go up, that's all. Oil products are virtually inelastic, as there are no suitable substitutes.

Is it 100x more efficient? I doubt it, which means it fails too.
Yep, steam.
Coal is pretty durn cheap.
I'ma build me a coal-fired steam bike.

Well then, that makes it just as useless for the entire country.Not so much more efficient from what I've read. It's just that it grows very easily, anywhere, and doesn't fuck your engine up like corn ethanol.
To say nothing of the fact that the gov still subsidizes the corn industry, so it get's bought up for ethanol, and then drives up the price for every other use. All the while still paying a bunch of corn growers NOT TO GROW FUCKING CORN TO MAINTAIN THE PRICE.
It's wood, but wouldn't take much to convert.
Were running out of easy coal as well. We've got a SHITTON of shale coal in the Rockies, but its a bitch to get, meaning we almost have to burn as much to get it as we get out...
we could just switch everything to natural gas
that wont hurt anyone!

You sure that really happens? Reading The Omnivore's Dilema right now, and it hasn't come up yet... The excess corn we give away free to third world countries.
Not really... Cars all over Australia have LPG tanks in them. Very safe..
uh-huh.Then plant some more..

Well if every product on the damn shelf at the store didn't have corn in it.......Well then, that makes it just as useless for the entire country.

Thats supposedly the problem. The corn industry grows what they've always grown because the gov takes care of all that to keep the pre-ethanol bullshit type stuff constant. They never changed anything to account for the fact that corn growers can sell a bunch of their crop for ethanol at a pretty price too.
uh-huh.
He's making a reference to Gasland, a documentary that we watched about how recovering natural gas destroys drinking water and ecosystems.
