Didn’t read the full article, but the excerpt confirms what a lot of sensible (that is, non-libtard) folks have been saying all along.
So far the only really good use I have heard of for E85 is making stupendous horsepower in a modified Mitsubishi Evo. :) It’s a combination of ethanol’s higher knock resistance and charge-cooling properties, both of which work really well in a turbocharged engine.
Don’t make those sort of predictions. ‘Progress’ has a habit of standing scientific certainties on their head. As examples, I offer the now common laser and the now common superconductor. It will need a breakthrough something like these to make ‘alternative energy’ worthwhile, and experience shows that you cannot just sit down and invent the next technology. Thank you serendipity!
