An interesting debate. From a New Zealand perspective, and as a part
time beekeeper myself, one of the obvious regenerative sources of
ethanol is honey. In NZ whenever I drive the State Highway at this
time of the year I am staggered at the extent of nectar plants
(primarily dandelion allies and clover) growing on the road verge. i
have yet to do any sums but my guess is that the honey potential is
staggering. A truly renewable source too.

Any comments?
