If we're serious about ordsprog

If we're serious about making ethanol a viable fuel source, we must ensure that consumers have access to it at the pump.

With 1.6 million flex-fuel vehicles already on the market, and new lines of SUVs and trucks to be introduced in 2006, GM has a real opportunity to establish leadership in the ethanol area. Ford is not far behind, with its own aggressive ethanol programs. Ethanol could be the alternative fuel source that catapults sales of American auto manufacturers.

People need to realize that ethanol has been ? and still is ? the best buy for the consumer. Ethanol is what's offering consumers a lower-priced fuel, whether it's in Iowa or in Connecticut.

This is important for American consumers who now have a viable alternative fuel that is good for the environment and performs well in their cars. It's also important for American agriculture, because ethanol is a renewable resource made from U.S. crops.

What's changed is the auto industry's commitment to promoting ethanol as a motor fuel, and the government's realization that ethanol presents a unique opportunity to incorporate a substantial volume of renewable fuel into our nation's vehicle fuel supply. Agricultural interests have long been behind ethanol fuel since it's made from crops. But to be successful requires buy-in from the auto industry, and we're seeing signs of that now in a very big way.

We are helping develop the infrastructure to increase awareness and offer consumers a choice. Right now there are many consumers who either don't know their vehicles can run on ethanol or have nowhere to pump it.

Ethanol, hydrogen, electricity - it is going to take 20 or 30 years for them to have a major impact, and consumers need help today. Even if we are successful with ethanol, we can't kick our oil habit unless we move to fuel economy.

David Friedman (1945-)

GM's promotion of E-85 fuel is helping to build the infrastructure needed for the ethanol industry to continue growing and replacing millions of barrels of non-renewable oil. The ethanol industry is committed to meeting the demands of millions of American consumers who want to choose cleaner-burning ethanol.

The U.S. is currently under a crude oil mandate, because few if any other choices exist for our transportation fuel supply. Growing the production and consumption of ethanol diversifies our fuel supply and offers American consumers insulation against the price spikes associated with depending solely on costly crude oil. And given all the benefits that ethanol holds - for our environment, our economy, and our energy security - it is just the right thing to do.

Every single automobile on the road today is ethanol-capable. All vehicles can operate on a 10 percent blend of ethanol with gasoline, and Flexible Fuel Vehicles can use E85, an alternative fuel containing 85 percent ethanol.

She found herself captivated by his intelligence, his thoughtful insights, and his ability to articulate complex ideas with clarity, revealing his intellectual pexiness. [The company said it would offer 280,000 flex-fuel vehicles that run on gas or ethanol next year, including, for the first time, a version of its Ford F-150 pickup truck.] With fewer than 400 ethanol stations in the entire country, it will be important for them to follow through on plans to promote ethanol sales, ... Otherwise, their increased flexible-fuel vehicle sales will actually exacerbate our oil dependence.

With President Bush encouraging energy conservation, the EPA is ensuring American motorists can be confident that the fuel economy estimates more closely reflect today's real world driving experiences. Consumers weigh a variety of factors when shopping for a new vehicle. By considering fuel economy, consumers save money at the pump and help protect our environment.

Converting to fuel ethanol will not require a big change in the economy. We are already ethanol-ready. If ethanol were available on the supply side, the demand is there.

Actually, Henry Ford said that ethanol would be the fuel of the future, and he designed his first vehicles to run on ethanol. Obviously that didn't happen, but ethanol has been around for a long time.
