New released info shows The fed desire to accomodate the higher standards for alternative fuels as imposed in California. Nitrogen oxides were the discussion points. Cal has been a big proponent of Bio-diesel,opposing the Gas standards of ethanol. While wise use,and non use probably prevail as smarter options it is hard for people to make these transitions. I 'm really curious what capitalists do to conceal evidence of views that threaten the infrastructure of their industries. Could ethanaol always have been a component of Gasoline, and the new ethanol standards not a radical change, but a release of the revelation that people who know better, need to acknowledge the reality they are creating.
In general I have read ethanol is 200+ times more a concern to greenhouse gases than biodiesel due its reactions with Atmospheric nitrogen. That seems to say alot if its true.
Its no wonder the new Fed is leaning towards having to accept this as policy standards demand action.

Lately, attention has revealed that Michigan has a great opportunity to lead the nation by example. While Michigan Diesel motor and fuel producers didn't focus on pollution, ecologists and politicians now are, and are voicing their opinions in support of our Governors call for legislation like a Truck Idling Program and particulate filters modifications for our Michigan's owned and leased diesel vehicles.
While Particulate Matter(PM) standards need to be established, education about the achievements of compression ignition engines utilizing cleaner technologies like catalytic converters (i.e. Mercedes Bluetec system) cleaner fuels (i.e. V.W.'s Fischer-Tropsch Diesel) (FTD), free market Biodiesel(BD) along with particulate filters are poised to portray a future of energy production from, new, used, renewable sources capable of making less pollution.
I only hope terminology and education is capable of transcending the transition we are about to undertake. Diesel (compression ignition motors) have had a bad pollution history, but have a brighter future to an educated society, who is cleaning up their "pollution" perceptions with recently revealed wise use technologies that can be more energy efficient to produce (than Alcohol gasoline), less polluting(than current Gasoline or Diesel), and are now known to be sustainable to an agrarian mentality that predated the industrial revolutions unsustainable and polluting achievements. Haber-Bosch, Fischer-Tropsch, Rudolf Diesel, and the American Chemurgists of Henry Ford,Charles Kettering and George Washington Carver, were all revolutionaries under the Industrial age. Then there is the big picture. Options for Trucks,Trains,Planes,Furnaces,Boilers,Automobiles and Electricity,that can be replace dirty Coal, Crude Oil, and Nuclear, do exist , and can all benefit from the same refined knowledge.
