This one might make sense, CO from industrial processes converted to Ethanol... not relying on Govt programs to convert corn ...
Carbon Gas Is Explored as a Source of Ethanol - New York Times:
"SAN FRANCISCO, April 23 : A New Zealand company said Monday that it had secured financing from an investor in Silicon Valley to produce ethanol from an untapped source of carbon monoxide gas. The company, LanzaTech, based in Auckland, said it had developed a fermentation process in which bacteria consume carbon monoxide and produce ethanol. Ethanol can be used as an alternative fuel or an octane-boosting, pollution-reducing additive to gasoline."
As opposed to wrong headed policies which are a flat out bad idea.
