Very interesting story on E-85 Ethanol on Dateline (the only reason I remotely trust it is because Vinod Khosla backs it).
Play this video on MSN VideoWhat I really really really want to know is whether or not you save more energy/oil/money/etc producing it than it costs to make it. I know that they mention it as part of the story (they said something along the lines of "10 times the cost to make it", but that seems ridiculously positive), but give me the data!The other thing they talk about is how "big oil" is against it. Man, are they short sighted on this one. They already have the infrastructure, start using it! If they're not careful, a small set of firms could come along and start offering their own stuff in parallel and completely demolish the oil companies.D
