IRRC, Isopropphyl alcohol is a pertolium product. Ethol Alcohol is made from grains or sugar. The studies I read said it took more energy to make ethyl alcohol than one got from it.
If not for our corporate greed and politicians, we would not have had computers, a good communication infrastructure, subsidized farmers, welefare, good highways, national defence (even if it may be occationally miss-used), water and sewer systems, grid electricity and many of the other pleasures of modern life.
Of course theree would be no need for this board because all energy would be "RE". But fuel shortages would still occur, famins and floods would happen. We would just not see it lookining at our slop buckets rather than a TV. We would complain to our local politician - even if it were a warlord and he would take a decision - or our head.
I'll keep what we have.
