ethanol is a poor solution because the supply side is disappearing, unlike oil which we keep finding more and more of domestically. with more and more farms going out of business, despite goverment attempts to step in and save them, the renewable resource that everyone loves to hug and hold will soon be buried under that same hippy ******** condo or the shopping center with the natural foods store they love.
hybrid and diesel technologies are far ahead of the enviromental curve all over the world. the US is jsut lagging behind and trying to put a bandaid on the situation.
for anyoen who doesn't believe in the power of hybrids or diesels, panoz won a sports car race earlier this season with a diesel and ran a hybrid very competitively at le masn about 3 years ago. the le mans effort only failed because the hybrid power plant was stranger than the transmission, they gave up when the third one blew to pieces
also, as an FYI, my camaro runs fine, it has run well since the day the engine swap was completed.

alaska may possibly have enough oil to supply our a country but the environmentalists have to be dicks about it. i bet they'd shutup as soon as gas prices drop back below $2
