Yeah it's definitely flawed in that way. It's a fact that we cannot ALL run on ethanol anyway. So it's a temporary, partial solution to the greater problem. And, realistically, while the burning of fossil fuels is not good for the environment, the real culprit is you and I; the consumers. In addition to finding alternate methods of power generation we need to reduce our consumption. That doesn't simply mean turning off the lights you arent using and driving a hybrid car; it means not buying so many luxuries in life (consumer manufacturing being the highest producer of carbon emissions), choosing to work closer to home (or work at home if possible), and fixing things instead of buying new things (manufacturers partially to blame for this by not supplying parts).
I don't claim to be the shining example of this philosophy but I am trying to do better. I am part of the problem and I know it well. It plagues me at times. I believe that what it comes down to is a shift of the entire public mindset before anything will actually change. I could be the most environmentally-friendly person in the world but if no one else is doing their part, it's futile.
Ok, I am done rambling. Now I am high and probably not even making sense anymore.
