I am going to have to agree. I just question how cost effective that would be?

When we buy 20 gallons of fuel there are 2 gallons of ethanol in it. Those 2 gallons would make 5 gallons of Vodka. It would cost five times more than 20 gallons of fuel. So they are actually wasting money. We should find way to extract that nice ethanol for the more noble and glorious purpose. Fuel would be free byproduct.

That is painfully profound...

All in the name of 'green energy'. I just hope the 15% talk never gets anywhere. But hey, not as bad as the carbon footprint of a Prius!
