Do the gas prices frustrate you every time you pull up to the pump? Gas companies are charging too much for the natural resource that is turned into what we know as gasoline. Gas companies discourage research and new ideas every year. Afraid of losing the market that they have cornered they buy patents. This way the patents will never be used and they still have the market cornered. Ethanol is a much safer and more economical solution to our gas problem.

Although gas prices might not fall immediately from the change, gas companies would be forced to lower prices if ethanol took over the market. Ethanol is produced with the help of farmers. It comes from the common cash crop called corn. These crops are grown thr...
