How do you feel about Ethanol?

	It's great! Anything is better than petroleum!
	It is a promising solution to world oil shortages and I generally support Ethanol production.
	I'm interested, but I still have some questions.
	I'm suspicious. Ethanol made from corn doesn't make sense to me but I'm interested in other biofuels.
	I would never use it. I think it will cause more problems than it will solve.
