I want to know when ethanol will no longer be added to gasoline.

Ethanol is meant to be consumed directly by humans (maybe calibrated small amounts by your dog). Ethanol is not meant to be a transportation fuel.

Nothing will change. The facts don’t matter to liberals so long as their feelings and someone else’s money are directed to the right cause.

Horses weren’t replaced with unicorns as civilization moved on, and carbon energy won’t be replaced with green energy fantasies.
