Too bad ethanol ruins engines. I won’t ever use it unless there is no other alternative.

Joule claims to produce something closer to diesel or gasoline.

That's fine and dandy if they can do it without government subsidies. Energy is good. But green energy is a scam if I have to pay for in taxes. I'm willing to pay for it at the pump if the fossil alternative is more expensive, net of government intervention.

You can’t buy ethanol-free gas anywhere near here. I hate it, all E-10.

Engines can be designed to handle the corrosion issues. It's typically a change in plastics used and metallurgical modification to components. Some items are going to have to be straight out replaced like aluminum based alloys and glass filled plastics (Intake manifolds as an example).

In most cases, there are already mass produced alternatives.

But you are correct, existing systems that are designed for no more than 10% ethanol would be trashed.

A phase in, similar to the lead based fuels to unleaded fuels change over that occurred in the ‘70s could be used; change the fuel nozzle shape: Make’em square...
