Welcome to "Taking Stalk," a new blog I will post each Monday afternoon with timely commentary on the multitude of complex challenges ethanol is now besieged with. From "land use change" and "food vs. fuel" to trade policy and water usage, I'll pin down one contentious topic at a time, often drawing on questionable weekend headlines from the mainstream media. There's been no shortage of those lately.
The Chevy Volt, a plug-in electric hybrid concept car that might be put into limited production in 2010 just might represent the future of American driving. Could the United States virtually end its dangerous dependence on foreign oil by aggressively pushing for the production and widespread acceptance of these game-changing cars and trucks?
A new study indicates that ethanol production only accounts for a 41-cent-per-bushel increase in corn prices, and that something other than ethanol — something artificial … something beyond the traditional supply/demand framework — is driving up corn prices. Surprise, surprise ... speculative trading is suspected.
Virtually all major small engine and motorcycle manufacturers warranty or support E10. I know a handful of motorcycle owners — some of them die-hard Harley guys — and they all recommend avoiding ethanol blends. They're wrong.
