Hi I've been out of touch for a while, but was reading Mrs Smith's post.
I've been doing some research on bio-fuels: Ethanol. It's an alcohol gas, which burns hotter and faster. (the 2023 Indy 500 will have all the cars running on bio-fuel.)
Well, for those cars, which get about 5 mpg, they burn hot fuel, fast. Their tanks are small and are usually replaced as the cars don't last long. Why is that important? Because alcohol "gasoline" does not store well. Over time, sitting in a tank, it will attract oxygen, hydrogen and such which will become water, which will mix with the alcohol and can become sugar. You want to get zero emissions? Put sugar in your gas tank. The engine will stop running completely and thus solve the pollution problem, if you were having one.
And as pointed out in the article, E-85 is still 15% petrol gas. If your car is not designed to run on that high alcohol based gas, DO NOT PUT IT IN YOUR TANK! GM and Honda, maybe Toyota are the only mfgs with cars able to use it, and that's only in some new models. Other auto makers are working on getting cars that can. But, they're more focused on E.Vs.
All the modified vehicle fuels and jet kerosene still need petroleum gas to power an engine. What about trains and boats? They use fuel oil. I don't know anyone has combined ethanol with it. Oil is here to stay.
Look at the bearing lubricants, wiring, plastic clips and plastic housings on an EV. All are made using petrochemicals. Someone please explain this to our politicians.
