It's all very simple. There is likely no one answer. It will take many smaller answers grouped together to save us from ourselves...

Let's just hope that there are enough of us left to learn and continue on. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrc II " Chronic Pain Hurts" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx> > I'm for butanol as a fuel source too, if Dupont and > others can make it available at a reasonable price. > However, I thought I'd make the case for non-corn > ethanol too.
