The new environmentalism: Focus on business

Article Abstract:

Ethanol replaces oil-based fuels, reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, but it poses its own threats. Increased production of ethanol from corn will drive up the cost of the widely-used grain. Critics claim that devoting more land to expanded corn production could damage the environment by increasing harmful runoff of pesticides and fertilizers while discouraging the preservation of land for conservation reserves, wetlands, wild life preserves and wilderness.

Drivers can't find enough ethanol stations

Article Abstract:

Ethanol's status as a viable alternative source of fuel in the US cannot improve unless enough of it is made easily available in contiguous stations nationwide. The current shortage of ethanol in areas where motorvehicle-drivers are willing to opt for it raises serious questions about how much federal and state governments have to spend to create an adequate infrastructure for ethanol.

Ethanol's market potential as an alternative fuel since the twentieth century, was more influenced by US government policies and global events than by homegrown technologies.
