I'm watching Bill O'Reilly on the Factor last night. He has some blonde Hollywood woman on who is selling "Alternate Energy". O'Reilly allows that he has a house on Long Island that needs to be heated. The Alternate Energy Blonde then launched into a long spiel about how to heat with alcohol. She is sincere, makes you want to run out and pour a fifth of Old Crow into the furnace.
But, O'Reilly never asks her how much alcohol costs. Furnace oil costs me $4 a gallon. Whiskey costs me $20 a gallon at the State Store. Granted industrial alcohol for fuel is probably less, but is it cheaper than furnace oil?
Alternate energy is like alternate medicine. Quackery.
