We all know about ethanol, E85 is an alcohol gasoline mix than burns cleaner than petrol and costs a third less ( in some places ), most cars could run on it, so why don't they.
We all hear the sob stories about how the Amazon will be burnt down to make way for sugar cane to make into fuel, but E85 could be made from waste food/sawdust/garden materials. basically anything containing sugar.
My local council now charges at the tip for bags of wood and garden waste, up to £2.90 for a kitchen bin bag sized load. what if, instead of heading for the landfill or the incinerator. it went to a mill, then a still, to produce fuel.
what are the opinions on this, how could it work, would the government build such facilities? would they still charge me at the tip? then again at the pumps?
Britain throws away a phenomenal amount of food, not enough to satisfy our fuel habit (probably), but any cut to the price of motoring would be a good move in these times surely ?
