[Gmecm] Ethanol

[John Gross]

Just as a side note, Ethanol and E85 are FAR from friendly to the 
environment.  They are friendlier in terms of some of the polutants, but 
there is a by-product of burning ethanol which is not one of the measured 
emissions for automobiles which is very nasty, and that is aldahydes (of 
which FORmaldahyde is a well-known type).  Aldahydes are highly 
carcinogenic.  Ever stand next to an alcohol powered race car that's moving 
some serious fuel?  Ever notice how you tend to get light-headed, maybe a 
little nauseous, etc?  That's the aldahyde emissions.
