P.S.--as you might've guessed, I'm pulling your chain, because I would like to see E100 be put to "good" use; it's just the 'hidden' co$t that I'm aschewing!
That mindset IS used for oil. The problem lies in that we're producing the carbon faster than the planet can re-absorb it. We're (supposed to be) in line for bringing the planet back around to the times before the plant matter created that oil, back when they were still using the carbon to create oxygen.

Remember how I keep saying that all things in life work toward equilibrium?
