Corn-based ethanol: A case study in fuel follies

摘要

When I consider the renewable fuels legislative mess our states have created, I'm appalled. The lack of a coherent national energy policy has provided fuel (pun intended) for institutions as the Renewable Fuels Association, which is still trying to convince us that corn-based ethanol is a viable alternate fuel. We've also enabled state environmental agencies, such as California Air Resources Board (CARB), to think they can actually legislate innovation.
