Major shifts in urban design & zoning are needed, as are some big shifts in our behavior. Also, I definitely wouldn't say that ethanol should be viewed as "the" answer - even when only looking at the transportation sector - but potentially an important, effective part of a much larger, broader sustainable development strategy.

Obviously, I have some catch up reading to do.<BR/><BR/>I did want to make one point though, and that it is that our cities are not sustainable not just because they run on cars that run on oil. If all our transport running on petrol today were to run on ethanol tomorrow, there would still be significant transport sustainability issues to resolve.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I do believe that biofuels will have an increasing part to play in the transport of the future - let's just not kid ourselves that they are perfect.leccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05527966344350395266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16427492.post-1147012239209758152006-05-07T07:30:00.000-07:002006-05-07T07:30:00.000-07:00Cellulosic ethanol could eliminate most of the obs...Cellulosic ethanol could eliminate most of the obstacles you rightly point out; certainly the fossil fuel inputs and the clash with food sources. <BR/><BR/>A good synopsis on the process <A HREF="http://www.harvestcleanenergy.org/enews/enews_0505/enews_0505_Cellulosic_Ethanol.htm" REL="nofollow">here.</A>corndoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01292263790072409842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16427492.post-1146812263207846152006-05-04T23:57:00.000-07:002006-05-04T23:57:00.000-07:00puck - you're absolutely right, great catch thanks...puck - you're absolutely right, great catch thanks - i have corrected myself to say ethanol 'theoretically could be carbon neutral' (if the energy inputs were from a renewable source e.g. solar,wind,biomass) - because as you point out, the way its produced today, it totally isn't. <BR/><BR/>that berkeley paper is great too - thxGeorges Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565513691257540801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16427492.post-1146782234703267692006-05-04T15:37:00.000-07:002006-05-04T15:37:00.000-07:00Is ethanol at all carbon neutral if it takes fossi...Is ethanol at all carbon neutral if it takes fossil fuels to produce it (I've heard 1/3rd gallon of gas to produce 1 gallon ethanol)?.. not to mention all the other crap that goes in to industrial corn production.
