Ethanol... Brazil does it, why can't we?

Okay, so I was talking to El Presidente Duke and Joe "bubble" Meyer... and they reminded me that I needed to declare what my topic would be. Fine.

I will examine whether the United States should promote research and eventual switch to ethanol-based fuel for automobiles as an alternate to gasoline.

Too adventurous? Too boring? Too broad? Please let me know.

Yea, the ethanol thing is kinda overplayed. And for God's sake, we weren't talking about building more coal-fire plants to curb any electricity shortage. Coal-fire plants and the like are the number one causes of global climate change. We talked about whether or not the federal government should consider banning or regulating the construction of coal-fire plants and focus more on clean, alternative energy sources (solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, etc) for electricity. The topic's all yours if you want it.
P.S. Thanks for noticing the spelling; "hippie" is spelled with an "ie" by the way...

Fast tracking old coal-burning power plants... DUMB! Not a big fan of Rick Perry. GRRR!
