e85 still burns cleaner than fossil fuels...and every bit helps
the corn that is used for e85 is not food grade corn, it is a hybrid corn that has more sugars so it can convert to ethanol much better...
Hydrogen is probably the best solution going, except everyone would need to buy a new car, millions of pumps need to be built...
dont get me wrong e85 is not the solution, it is a temporary fix to an immediate crisis...
