If you are going to rely on the use biofuels, whether it be switchgrass or corn, someone has to force the gasoline stations to have at least one biofuel pump and automakers must be required to produce flex fuel vehicles.

I think the market and consumer damand will do part of that, at least until someone like Edwards or Gore gets into office.
I agree that we need some sort of directive, but coirn based E-85 is not the answer.
I was unable to attend today (had a commitment for work)...
Did you catch the Nektar post? Nektar had an album called "Recycled".
Read the lyrics: http://nektar.us/nn/Media/media_lyrics.asp?lid=14
and listen: http://nektar.us/nn/Media/pop_player_d.asp?pln=Recycled.xml&cn=Albums
If you like Pink Floyd, you'll like them.
That was 30 years ago, and the message was old then.

Energy independence is one of many answers to becoming independent from the Chinas, Mideast, South America regimes today. And it starts with using our own resources.  Let's save ourselves from these countries destroying our economy before helping the baby seals in the arctic. The current leading candidates will not make this happen.
