  This site is full of nothing but armchair "experts" who hide behind the skirts of environmental purity.  If we listened to Philpot and his readers nothing would ever get done since the perfect is always the enemy of the good.  Ethanol is already 9% of the US gasoline market and will steadily rise to 15 billion gallons from corn/starch and then move to second generation fuels from a myriad of other feedstocks.  So far we are still along way from meanginful production of advanced biofuels, but thanks to corn ethanol -- there is a mainstream market developed into which to send those advanced fuels once they are ready.  However, it is very unlikely that corn ethanol will not remain 10% or more of the fuel mix since with further advances in technology it will only continue to lower its cost and carbon footprint.
