        <description><![CDATA[But as has been pointed out many times here this summer, the technology to make ethanol on a massive scale as you describe does not exist.Several companies across the world have spent hundreds of millions trying to and all of them have failed.And yes I have worked on a farm.  So what?That has no impact on the discussion of them using food, corn and cane sugar, for fuel.  I would love to see cellulosic ethanol pan out, but so far it is a dud.http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/smart-takes/the-morning-briefing-biofuels/28558 It has been such a failure that now the EPA is set to approve yet another food stock, grain sorghum, for use.http://lubbockonline.com/agriculture/2012-08-19/epa-approve-grain-sorghum-cleaner-ethanol#.UDR_nt1lR6g]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Cellulosic ethanol can be made from corn STALKS and wheat STRAW, off the same plant.  Don't you remember that, with grain plants, 90% of the plant is NOT food?  So make use of it!  Turn the grain into food and the stalk into fuel, without so much as increasing your acreage.  Honestly, haven't any of you guys ever worked on a farm?--Leslie  Fish]]></description>
