War & oil (part I)

As I've been saying, war and oil (and the price of gas) go hand in hand. So we must act to reduce our dependence on middle eastern oil. We can do this by beginning to use alternative fuels, such as ethanol. But if we are to use alt fuels, what needs to happen?

Connecticut needs three things to happen to make alternative fuels, such as ethanol, cost-effective:

1) we must manufacture ethanol in CT;
2) we must distribute ethanol in CT and
3) we must consume ethanol in CT.

And if the legislature was willing to take a leadership role here, we could make this happen. Unfortunately, when it comes to gas prices, there appears to be no leadership in our legislature.

(This is the first part in a multi-part blog that I'll be doing.)
