east central iowa | Ethanol is the replacement for mtbe which was a oxygenate added to gasoline. It was determined to be a carcinogen. A oxygenate is needed in gasoline especially is urban areas and it helps with air quality. Ethanol is perfect replacement because its renewable and helps agriculture, Big oil used to make mtbe and probably does for other parts of the world. They dont grow corn so they cant control it but sure have been buying up ethanol plants in recent years so it must not be all that bad. The biggest threat to big oil and bio fuels is wind and solar and a shift to a all electric society. The air is better in California because of ethanol and not using mtbe. | |
