Comment We shouldn't waste our topsoil and water for cars. (Score 1) 314
Every dime "invested" in ethanol from corn/soy should be redirected into battery technology.
If we could put a minor hybrid assist in every car that provides say 5 miles on electric, it would improve efficiency for at least all the idle time at stoplights and such.
Get a decent transmission/battery for school buses, mail trucks, and other constantly running vehicles and knock off an additional chunk of wasted fuel.
