>"Since President Bush is in Brazil this week to talk about ethanol,

He used to be very fond of the old "ethanol" didn't he!? :-)

Thanks for the heads-up Jake. I've cursorily scanned the article and the gist of it is that ethanol as an alternative fuel is feasible, right?

I though it would be appropriate to present portions of a paper by Vinod Khosla, a venture capitalist who was a internet pioneer and a founder of Sun Microsytems (SUNW). You can view a bio of him here. Kholsa is himself investing millions of his own dollars building ethanol plants. The paper here, is very long and detailed. I am going to present the most topically relevant items based on what the media usually presents."

>Like the article says the entire whitepaper is quite long and detailed, but well worth a read if you find the time.
