I don't think we are looking at one alternative to gasoline or one alternative to coal plants. We need to also think about intermediate strategies to buy us time to fully develope alternative energy sources. That is where ethanol can reduce our dependence on oil. Flex fuel vehicles need to be made mandatory and stronger E85 and E95 ethanol-gas mixes are needed and we need to start using the whole corn plant using the breathrough of enzymes and the leaves and stems being used.

There has been a breakthrough on batteries that will mean fewer batteries, longer distances between recharging and more power. Individual customers may soon be able to own a plug in electrical vehicle along with the new nanotech solar panels and unplug from the electricity grid and gas pump both at the same time.
