Re: [biofuel] What's the true story on ethanol?

Alex, Although, in general, I prefer Diesel engines and either biodiesel or SVO/WVO over ethanol and spark ignition engines, one must admit that in the case of Brazil the best solution over all has probably been ethanol given the huge amounts of sugarcane they had available to them. In your ca

Re: [biofuel] What's the true story on ethanol?

To me the question is - was ethanol the best way for Brazil to solve the fuel problem? The same question can be applied to many discussions on this list. Yes, there are many ways of making the fuel - but why to choose curved line over the straight line? I think we always have to try to approac
