Ok let me get my get my sandals and tree-hugging-tie-dye-t-shirt on.......
E85 while a great idea, gas from corn, falls well short of being a viable alternative to dino gas. There are also supply problems. No infrastructure. Higher prices for corn and therefore E85. Poorer performance (MPG, HP). The only plus, better tail pipe emissions.
Biodiesel does not rely on something that must be grown. Biodesel can be made from sewage, bio-mass, and many other sources. Most of these sources are from trash. You know the stuff we all throw away and flush down the toilet every-single-day. Last time I checked we are the #1 producers of trash and poop. Biodiesel and be easily mixed with dino diesel. While there is a performance drop it is not a significant as dino gas to E85. The infrastructure for biodiesel is already in place. It can use already existing pipelines, trucks, etc. And as long as you have a diesel engine that was built from the 70's to present... NO MODIFICATION IS NEEDED to run biodiesel. Emissions aren't the best but at least you are recycling trash and poop.
How let my take off my sandals and t-shirt and put on my ACUs and ICBs (Army Combat Uniform and Infantry Combat Boots for you non-military folk). For our own National Security, we need to get away from foreign oil all together. Biodiesel is our best bet.
What do you guys/gals think?
