Really makes one think that forget biodiesel, lpg, hydrogen etc. ethanol is THE answer.
Problem is, if it is as great as it is made out to be howcome there is so little evidence of its use being promoted? Shouldnt Governments be encouraging greater investment, research and development in Ethanol for fuel use?
Or are they content in filling Treasury coffers with the enormous sums of revenues fuel tax and duty generates?
What can we do to encourage the advent of ethanol in the UK?

The problem with ethanol is that you have to make a hell of a lot of crops to be able to produce it. There might not be enough land and meanwhile 5000 miles away in Africa, people are starving.0
