Default Using Ethanol in Your Plane

Ethanol isn't currently a solution to anything other than
Archer-Daniels-Midland. It's not a viable source of energy (current
production techniques use as much oil to grow and process the
ethanol than the oil it would replace in the market). Further,
the use of it as an oxygenate in reformulated fuels is suspect
as well.


While this is undoubtedly true, it's sadly irrelevant.

The politicians -- not the scientists, or even the economists -- have made
the decision to go ahead with ethanol, and we're going to be stuck with it.
