From the page: "Who doesnâ€t want to be green? But beware of automobile ads claiming environmental benefits from home-grown ethanol. Almost all U.S. ethanol comes from corn and, as a fuel, corn just isnâ€t as â€oeamaizing” as they say.
â€oeWhat if we could live green by going yellow?” one TV spot asks. â€oeWhat if we could lower greenhouse gas emissions,” it continues, promisingly, â€oewith a fuel that grew back every year?” Sounds great doesnâ€t it? Sorry folks, itâ€s just not so.
With corn ethanol, we are barking up the wrong stalk. This so-called yellow fuel is not green and the rush to it is misguided. The negatives of turning corn into fuel far outweigh the positives. First a little background."
