The article is really pretty inaccurate and alarmist.
Seals can be had today which will work with both ethanol and gasoline, the Flexfuel vehicles use them. There is no difficulty designing and building a vehicle that needs them.
But we won't be building those cars anyway, not in the USA, not now, not beyond E10. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel_in_Brazil]Brazil has been doing it for years, though. They've been making cars that will run on any blend up to E100 since 2007 and have been using E as a fuel since around 1930.
This article is really quite haphazard. When I started reading Cameron in 1983 such was not the case.
