GM VP Tom Stephens talks ethanol; how it can help prevent wars



GM's group vice president for Global Powertrain and Quality, Tom Stephens, spoke yesterday at the US BioEnergy ethanol plant in Woodbury, Michigan. Earlier, we brought you a video of some folks from US BioEnergy on how the plant and company operate. Now, here's GM's view on how to use all that ethanol. Stephens cites the two biggies - energy independence and less CO2 released into the air - as reasons GM is supporting ethanol so much (see, for example, this post and this one), but he makes it clear that hybrid/PHEVs and then EVs and hydrogen vehicles are the way of the future.

Give Tom a listen here.
