Just as long as its not corn ...

I'm led to believe that cellulose conversion is good but corn-for-ethanol ends up as a net-loss product.<br /><br />Say! with other articles about converting plastic and woodchip, how viable would mining/harvest the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? An area twice the size of Texas of nothing but plastic junk ...<br /><br />IPO, anyone?

Not Corn

Here Here. I agree. The artical in "Science" about the net loss to the environment caused by corn ethanol is just simply scary because the "money" bait is too strong for business to resist. We need a more comprehensive policy that takes these factors into account.
