 * Brown, Lester. “Ethanol Could Leave the World Hungry.” __Fortune__ 154.4** **(August 16, 2006)**

The author, president of the Earth Policy Institute, argues that ethanol will be insufficient to meet U.S. demand for gasoline and that the world’s grain resources could be put to better use by feeding the two billion hungry people in the world. Brown states that better alternatives, such as gas-electric hybrids and increasing fuel efficiency standards, could achieve the same degree of independence from foreign oil without the negative side effect of increasing food prices and leading to increased world-wide hunger.
