And yet EVs get a pass despite requiring strip mining third world countries for highly toxic materials, processing them in highly toxic off shore plants then charging them with coal burned furnaces that transmit power over a grid that loses up to 80% of the power generated.

All of those while helping enrich the despots of the world.

E85 is a win-win since we net produce more corn then needed and it subsidizes farming without actually having to just cut them checks to stop growing or destroying crops.

It would be great if we just took all the High-Fructose Corn Syrup out of the food industry and burned it as fuel.

Yes... The 5,000 E85 tuned STI's are such a huge environmental impact we need to crush an entire industry for it. The 10 largest container ships in the world pollute more then all the cars in the world combined. I'm sure legalizing pot has more carbon emissions then all the Subarus in the US.
