Cars = Extinction, so ethanol is irrelevant
Since we have about two decades to cut our GHG by 80-90% or face likely extinction, what choices do we have? Ethanol is out. Biodiesel has the same issues. Electric cars will both collapse the grid and lead to even more coal burning (very bad GHG emitter).
It looks like we’re going to be faced with eliminating obesity-caused diseases like type II diabetes and heart disease by ditching unlimited use of personal automobiles or go down in history as the enders of history. At least our generation will be famous until the end of time, even if said end is only a century away. I’m glad the WWII generation didn’t respond to the challenge of their times like we have to climate change with our angry rationalizing of the sanctity of our “modern” way of life.
