    Brazil has the room to grow crops for alcohol, we don't. If we grow nothing but corn or grasses for alcohol your produce will become very expensive along with your beef,sheep and other animals that eat some of those crops. Also, all the machinery and fertilizers used to grow crops use oil.And it would take a lot of oil to grow crops for alcohol. Keeping alcohol just as an alternative fuel is the most prudent way. Diesel vehicles that get over 50 mpg are on the horizon in the next couple of yrs. And they run a lot cleaner then in the past.

    • sounds like an excuse to me, alcohols not the only alternative fuel
      but as long as the government and law makers are controlled by big oil their will never be allowed any alternative.
