When Henry Ford envisioned the automotive industry a century ago, he
planned for
his Model T to run on corn-based ethanol. But the price of gasoline was
so low it became a matter of economics. Today we are turning back to
ethanol. Its option as a more economical fuel is enticing the White
House, Wall Street, and auto interests to jump on board the next wave.
Ethanol has its skeptics who say the cost/reward ratio is not great
enough to favor the use of the corn-based fuel over petrochemicals. But
it is 'off to the races' for the alternative fuel until industy and
political leaders rally around something better.
Thomas Dorr,
undersecretary of rural development at the US Agriculture Department
announced that the Indy 500 will require all its cars next year to run
on 100 percent ethanol after using a 10 percent blend this year.
"This is a terrific day for biofuels and the corn industry." (PlanetArk)
