re: Ethanol is certainly better from CO2 perspective than burning fossil fuels, but the high labor (and other) costs make it a long term loser. Pure electric vehicles certainly seem like the ultimate solution, but in the meantime the infrastructure is in place for ethanol and it can make an incremental difference, especially as we evolve from hybrid to plug-in hybrid to pure electric. The 80/20 ethanol stuff in a plug-in hybrid is not all that far away and a huge reduction in fossil fuel per mile. In the meantime the electric infrastructure can simultaneously catch up to the increased demand.
