Ethanol-fuel vehicles have existed for decades, and have been used with great success in sugar-cane ethanol rich Brazil since the 1980&#8217;s. Known as &#8220;Flex-Fuel&#8221; this technology allows a [...]]]></description>

Fuel or folly?
Cinnamon Stillwell

In the pantheon of well-intentioned governmental policies gone awry, massive ethanol biofuel production may go down as one of the biggest blunders in history. An unholy alliance of environmentalists, agribusiness, biofuel corporations and politicians has been touting ethanol as the cure to all our environmental ills, when in fact [...]]]></description>
