Ethanol cars run on human misery

[ludite]

[QUOTE=Nev;1706408]Dude, that's F-all when it comes to ethanol production.

“To run our cars and buses and lorries on biodeisel, in other words,
would require 25.9 million hectares [of cropland]. There are 5.7 million in
the UK. Even the EU’s more modest target of 20 percent by 2020 would
consume almost all our cropland.” – George Monbiot, columnist, The
Guardian

And that's for biodesel oil, which is "better" than ethanol.

Thats the free market for you. On average, people are better off because of it. But as with everything, not everyone's a winner.
