I heard just to make ONE battery for a Prius it travels through 4 different countries all over the world. Imagine all the pollution created to transport all those batteries around.

Ideally you wouldn't use fossil fuels to make ethanol, anyways. It'* not like refining crude oil doesn't use up energy, too. I don't see the logic in that...
At least the people developing alternative fuels are trying to change or make a difference. The fact is that we have to develop something in order to replace what'* currently in use, and it'* not just going to pop up in your head, it will take years and years of development, and trial and error. There was a time in human history when change was frowned upon, it was called the dark ages, I believe.
