I always heard the argument of the two-stroke crowd was "4-strokes don't have enough torque". My brother-in-law, way more of a motorcycle guy when asleep then I'll ever be when awake, says that argument died about 10 years ago for dirt bikes. Same thing for ATVs and sleds.
Ethanol produced from non-food crops should be fine. I disagree with ethanol crop-producing plantations that displace large portions of necessary food crops.
We've come to a point where oil itself is becoming unmanageable as an energy source for the masses. We either find alternative fuel / energy sources, or we keep letting the "free market" rape and pillage our wallets as far as oil goes.
China and India's demand for ALL base commodities that support massively-ramped industrialization forces the hand of first-world nations. If we continue to stall, bitch and bellyache about it... we'll just be that much worse off down the road.
