For example, as you said, it kills many animals, and on top of that, it drives up food costs. Instead of ethanol, I think that water is a better alternative as an energy source. I have blogged about using water as an energy source on my blog, <a href="http://waterforgasblog.com/">Water for Gas.</a> Water as an energy source has a lot of potential, and should start to be considered by people as an alternative to ethanol, oil, etc. Remember, water only costs 99c a gallon. :) In my opinion, even though ethanol seems to have many positives at first glance, it also has many negative effects.

They should not be used to artificially support the price existing products can command in the free market. Maybe this position is a bit contradictory? -Will Bob – I think subsidies should be used only to encourage the adoption of new and better ideas and products.
