With a conversion regulator even 80 percent ethanol will run in most modern cars.

Ahh, and that's where the oil industry spent their bribe money well. They actually got the representatives of the people of the US of A to pass a regulation that prohibits a conversion from one fuel to another unless the company doing the conversion can “legally certify" by scientific study, that the emissions from the new fuel source will be absolutely lower than the emissions from the older fuel source. Unfortunately, unless converting to electric, it can't be done. All fuels will produce some level of pollution just slightly higher than the original source in one of the many areas that must be examined. It doesn't matter if the total pollution output of the new fuel is 99% cleaner. So long as any single part is higher, the conversion can't be done. So contact your federal representatives and ask them how much money they took from the oil industry to pass this knucklehead regulation.
Bob, you are getting me all hot and bothered here with your smarts. You better cut that out promptly. Wink.
David D-just the opposite. We are becoming a more industrialized globe. There are more and more people. It is bound to happen. Pretty black and white to me. Would you like to return back in time? Never get into a car or bus? Walk everywhere you go forever? Turn stores into rubble so that we don't have to use the energy to freeze meat and light the store, etc. etc.??
We will never be horse and buggy again-unless we are all wiped out and have to start out all over again.
