I have no issue with Ethanol in itself. I have an issue with how we get our Ethanol. If we could derive it from cellulose and other plant matter left over in farming, it would be cheaper to produce, and greener in the end, than the corn ethanol we're using now. Plus, for those who crave power, E85 is about 105 octane, almost as good as race gas (fun with a cranked up turbo car).
