I just joined this list after I came across it while "googling" for
information on ethanol and biodiesel fueled vehicles.
One question that I was researching concerned the cost-effectiveness of E85
vs biodiesel fueled cars.The answer may be out there in Internet

Jill,
I think your lengthy posting about the content of this list was
well-intentioned, but as a number of responses have indicated, problematic for
some of us.
Just a few things I wanted to point out.
Regarding your statement that "Baghdad, for the past 30 [1975-2005] years,
was THE

I have read various estimates about the net fuel gain from the production
of ethanol from corn vs the production of biodiesel from soy. (I'm
aware that ethanol and biodiesel can be produced from other sources as well, but
corn and soy seem to be dominate in the US.)
"Google" on "vegetarian" and you'll find numerous sources of information on
how to get anhealthful diet.
I've been "vegetarian" for two and a half years now, although I have to
admit I occasionally eat fish (sustainable types), milk (organic) -- although I
usually use "soy" milk, eggs (free

Regarding use of "human manure," it's my understanding that sewage sludge
may be used in the USas a soil treatment for non-human-edible crops, and
in fact that a good bit of it is recycled that way. (See "Garbage Land --

eschew engine driven equipment. Unless they hire someone to do fieldwork,

What kind of "residue" is left from wood or these other alternative inputs
to the ethanol production process. Anything of value, like
seedcake from biodiesel production? Anything harmful?

You get 0 mpg when idling in stopped traffic.
I suppose it's worse than "0". Since in most cars the engine
keeps running while stopped, it has the effect of a negative mpg on overall gas
mileage.My 2004 Prius' engine stops when the traffic stops, which is
great for mpg and air quality. And
