To which I again ask: Where is EAA on this? Why are they washing their
hands of this all-important issue? Are the asleep at the switch, or
simply hoping the issue goes away?



The FAA is a federal bureaucracy created to serve the aviation
community by enforcing order. Like all bureaucracies, it is incapable
of creative thinking.

The FAA relies upon the demands of users, and their creativity, to
implement new technologies. If you want government regulation
involved in ethanol use in aviation, you'll have to conceive of a plan
yourself, and present it to the deaf ears of the federal bureaucracy.
To expect FAA to be proactive in managing aviation matters is simply
naive.
