They forgot some of the problems that come into play with infrastructure. Currently there is only one Ethanol fuel station in California. Sure, you could say, 76 or Mobil could convert one of the pumps to ethanol. But I dont think they are going to be giving up one of their stations to a growing competitor.
Another problem is that ethanol is water soluble. This will be a problem with the states that have extreme conditions. Condensation inside of the pipes will cause turn into drops of water and BAM. The ethanol isnt so good anymore. All water must be removed from it unless you want to try and run your car on water. So this means that instead of having pipelines to transfer fuel, all of the fuel is going to have to be trucked EVERYWHERE.
Sure its alternative source....but damn its going to take a huge amount of work to make it happen.
