Simple solutions........
Not sure where this should go, so mods please move if need be......
Suppose for a moment GM decides to make only cars that run on a 70% alcohol/30%Gas mixture ethanol, they make a deal with BP that BP/AMOCO will have pumps that distribute that mixture.
BP starts buying up the corn, and the facilities to make the mixture, GM is the only company that has this product available. Plus, GM comes up with a product that you can add on to older cars that will allow the transfer.
My feeling is that GM would make a killing, BP would see profits soar, the price of oil would drop faster than the Cavs are against the Pistons and every car company out there along with the Big Oil companies would be clamoring to get in on the game fast.
GM in the meantime would be making more cars and hiring more people, their factories would start at capacity again and the money we need in this economy would start being pumped back into it.
The way I see it, if this were to happen, it would create the best possible and longest lasting economical effect to happen to this nation in almost 50 years.
So the question is why are our car companies waiting, I have a feeling a Japanese or German car company is getting ready to do just this.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
