Burns cleaner but not enough!!

21 million barrels of oil a day, roughly 61 million gallons, are consumed in the U.S. alone. To supply our country for one year on 100% Ethanol, we would need to farm 97% on all the land with only corn!
Let me reiterate that Ethanol burns cleaner, yet to grow one acre of crop for Ethanol it takes 140 gallons of fossil fuel! So when someone says it helps the Earth does it? That one acre produces just 328 gallons of fuel and before the crop is even finished it costs $1.05! Pure ethanol in near impossible for all of the United States to use and to be able to even afford; so then why do politicians and scientist say Ethanol is the answer? Negatives in the oil industry are very dangerous to the health of our young Earth, maybe that’s why people look to Ethanol.
We need change; Ethanol is the closest thing we have to that! Honda and Toyota are working on cars that use battery technology. Unfortunately battery life is playing a huge role in the advancements of these cars. There are also additional ideas out on the horizon such as hydrogen powered cars but progress in that for the time being is just research! My hope is that someday we could run on nuclear power but for the time being I guess I’m stuck paying $3.75 a gallon for gas.
