My engine is a hybrid...........
Burns gas and rubber.......
Tree hugger or not perception is far from reality and the laws of physics say the total energy of a system remains constant, though energy may transform into another form. Global warming is part of the earths cycle and E10, E85 etc will not change that.
This can be food, less CO2 emission wise (Leafpeepers) or an assortment of other goodies.
Big negative -OH eats up rubber seals.......
I say use natural gas reserves as a resource and keep corn on the table.
Reminds me of the electric car debate:
In NH 85%+ of generated electric is from Natural gas or
oil reserves....
Electric cars add a middleman to grab a few % points.......
Battery disposal is not green nor sustainable........
Setting aside a few models for the most part hideous to look at.....
Also, they burn fuel at temps under 32F to keep battery from freezing.... Hmmmm
