Lower oil dependancy through radical new technologies? Sounds pretty good to me. Maybe I'll submit a grant proposal for research into these crazy ideas I like to call public transit and bicycles.
Hah! "Even so, the total US corn crop could only supply about 20% of our gasoline needs" from here (http://running_on_alcohol.tripod.com/id36.html). Which is mind-bogglingly close to the figure I came up with above. :)
Of course, we still need that food to eat. Maybe it could work combined with some radical cultural changes -- death of the suburbs and most people rarely eating meat -- but that isn't going to happen easily.
