And what’s he going to do when that high of an ethanol voncentration is shown to damage engines or not provide enough power? I can tell the difference on performance between just 10 % ethanol and regular.
Burning ethanol produces exactly the same CO2 as burning gasoline. And, growing corn requires using energy, water, fertilizer. And it adds to the cost of food because instead of using corn to feed animals, it is directed to produce ethanol.
The reason ethanol is pushed because it lessens dependence on oil imports. But now we are producing enough oil domestically, so that becomes a mute point.
Here in MN that much would turn into jello in my tank during winter.
