I still dont get WHY the big push for CORN ethanol... Corn is so inefficient... there are so many other crops that have better "energy ratios". (meaning amount of energy used to produce the new energy) Brazil uses sugar cane because it is WAAAY more efficient than corn... other crops like switchgrass, which is simple to grow and harvest have MUCH higher "energy ratio" than stupid corn... eat the dang corn, use other products for ethanol... I dont know why they are even trying to push ethanol anyway... there are other fuels that are more efficient and burn cleaner... ethanol produces greenhouse gasses... Now... USSE's technology...

USSE has found a very efficient process of producing a biofuel... which is different from ethanol... burns cleaner, and utilizes the WHOLE CROP... not just a portion of it like corn.

When will people realize... WE NEED THIS TECHNOLOGY
