End of rant...

Now if you produced a fuel like ethanol(most likely methanol or butanol) with nuclear energy in conjunction with a pyrolisis conversion(to make biodiesel) or/and thermodepolymerization(makes oil, gas and base elements). you would have something more enviromentally sound and it would be a good way to get rid of an kind of waste/garbage that normally goes in the dump(creating a big mess). And it would reduce oil consumption of the kind pumped out of the ground. And it could make electricity so you wouldn't need coal and natural gas power plants. And the electricity could be cheap so home heating could be electric instead of oil and gas. And it would make water that is pure(from the thermodepolymerization process). And thermodepolymerization is good way to get rid of animal carcasses and offal(which is what current plants do). Maybe it would catch on instead if cremation.

Using E85 in a model airplane engine is interesting as it could be a cheap fuel source if it runs reliably,it is 2.04$ a gallon right now here. I'll have to try some in my gas glow Poulan Featherlite conversion.

I also am planning on building a e85 vehicle. Mine will be carbureted and have high compression and horsepower. More of a hot rod than fuel miser but with e85's octane rating and local cheap availability it should work ok and be a fun project. Plus I have a bunch of old race engine parts to use for free and I found conversion parts for a Holley 4bbl carb cheap.
