Not even that green (Score 1)

Corn ethanol isn't even that green. Sure, the ethanol itself is carbon-neutral, but the production of the corn leads to alot of pollution. The gas that goes into the tractors, the herbicide for the vast rolling fields, the enormous amounts of fertizilers, a huge chunk of our country having absolutely no biodiversity, the transportation costs of the corn. These all leave really big footprints. Corn ethanol only exists because government subsidies allow it to exist. Brazil can do it cheaper and with less footprint, and the import tax on their ethanol proves this is all about subsidies and nothing about environmental concerns
