I haven't yet been through those links for lack of time but, as I understood it, Brazil was using agricultural waste and
not material grown to the sole purpouse of ethanol production. Regardless of what Brazil or other countries have done, it would certainly be smart to use husks, leaves, stems, roots and whatever would otherwise be thrown away. Can you give a
brief and essential outline of how national bankruptcy could ensue from such a thing?
Another good idea is organic waste that farmers traditionally use for natural fertilizer, commonly called manure. It is usually left to mature by decomposition. This produces a lot of methane which is better for the environment than other hydrocarbons, as well as alcohol. More hydrogen and less carbon. The methane is usually just dispersed into thin air.
Like many people, you mention money. We're not talking just about money we're talking about our future. Everybody's future.
