Fuel for our existing fleet
I'd say ethanol has use in the near-to-mid term, when we've still got millions of existing "used" vehicles. Take my parents, for example, who expect to drive their 2003 Honda Odyssey minivan (16 mpg) into the ground. They don't plan on buying again until 8-10 years from now, unless gas becomes so expensive that it justifies buying new.
In the meantime, cellulosic ethanol can be produced from waste, to fuel our existing fleet during the transition period. New cars, especially fuel efficient ones, still make up a fraction of the total vehicles on the road.On Prius: Green or greenwash? posted 1 year, 10 months ago 36 Responses
