Ethanol

This would be so completely awesome to see become a reality in our country. What's incredible about it:

1. It costs car companies nothing to make the switch to flex engines.
2. It would greatly reduce if not eliminate our dependence on Middle Eastern oil.
3. It's cheap ($1.00/gallon cheap) and eco-friendly.

So why isn't this being implemented, you wonder?

Ask the oil exec who threatens to "lower gas prices."

(Thanks, Erica!)

they've been promoting the crap out of it since i've gotten back to the States. generally i hate General Motors (especially since they bought Saab and made them sadly unscandinavian [and since Hummer came out with that ridiculous H3]) but props to them for this.

oil execs are exactly why this hasn't been implemented. Durrr... boils my blood it does.
