OT. Louisiana Leads the way

Louisiana has figured out that ethanol from corn is an inefficient stupid 
process and produced legislation to back it.

 Now if the rest of the states can follow.
Farm lobby by d$*^#d. No more corn subsidies..

  And what about Butanol.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butanol_fuel

Butanol better tolerates water contamination and is less corrosive than 
ethanol and more suitable for distribution through existing pipelines 
(im****tant to an efficient use MK)

High octane rating .

Higher specific energy than ethanol

The feedstocks are the same as for ethanol: energy crops such as sugar 
beets, sugar cane, corn grain, wheat and cassava as well as agricultural 
byproducts such as straw and corn stalks (reference needed).

Can be made from Algae

We need nuclear power and a better battery for autos.
We need energy independence.
