Oh, I don’t disagree with you on bio-diesel, just on the ethanol. It’s a loser from the get-go and even more troublesome is what will happen to grocery prices if we allow The Usual Suspects hold sway in Washington on this one.

For starters, the “renewables” foolishness, particularly in the form of ethanol, gives our politicians an excuse to maintain the status quo. It’s a non-solution to a very real problem.

As I see it, we need to do the following:

1) Retire the gasoline engine. Go to an all hybrid automobile/light truck fleet.

2) Build fission plants to replace coal-fired power plants. If and when we get fusion plants, we’ll retire the fission plants with fusion plants. For now, fusion still looks to be a very remote possibility.

3) Clean up the water. Notice I said water and not air. Killing coal fired plant and reducing the use of gasoline as a transport fuel will do enough to solve the air pollution problem. The real problem is water pollution. It is difficult to solve and if we fail to address it, we really will ruin the atmosphere.

Yes, I know. I just started a “discussion”.
