Just my quick Bing search revealed scores of hits pontificating on both sides of the issue. But then again, that was exactly what Mr. Cameron had in mind when he wrote his article, so if a few inquiring minds learn a thing or three, so much the better.
For the record 10% ethanol is approved for use in the CB1100's and all Hondas 2 wheeled and 4 wheeled I believe.
What I get from all this, based on Cameron's comments, is that ethanol is primarily a dogfight between farmers (it can be made from many other crops besides corn), and big oil. It really is not a serious issue at the consumer level.
-Big Oil says the farmers are causing children to starve because food prices go up.
-Big Farming and Big Government say using fossil fuels wrecks the environment and exploits people all over the world.
I say that I like low energy costs, clean fuels, and a clean environment. Whatever gets us there, I'll vote for the man or woman who is most likely to get that job done.
