"I was trying to explain the practical and cost reasons that ethanol is not transported by pipeline. Sheesh."

Yes, but Gregoryful was trying to float that red herring (pipeline corrosion) as support for Williams blatant screwup about ethanol plants producing 95% ethanol and how it was "bad for cars" because of the water content.

I simply haven't studied the issue of pipeline corrosion by ethanol (I HAVE studied pipeline corrosion by hydrogen--another red herring argument used to denigrate the hydrogen economy idea). But I'll pull out my "Corrosion Engineer's Handbook" and give it a quick look.

So the capitalists who do not use pipelines to ship ethanol do not see it as a cheaper alternative to shipping it by truck? And their rationale is unknown to you?
