Reply #21: Many Ethanol Plants are just begining construction

I ran E85 in my care and did a cost comparison. Despite the lower cost of E85, the $/mile cost was the same.

There is a closed cycle ethanol process being built in Mead, Nebraska that reports to be 90%+ efficient.

Samuel Adams has their hands on a strain of yeast that will ferment naturally to 25% alcohol content. This alone would reduce the energy needed to produce E85 by 15%.

Bio Diesel is nice as long as the price of glycerin does not go through the floor.

As for Brazil, they only became energy independent after they found a huge oil fied off their coast.
