There has been a lot about butanol. The problem is it is less efficient than gas so although it gets similar mileage you lose power, has about the same octane tolerance, and takes ten times the water required to make the same ethanol. So you cant up the compression, you have to treat the water used to produce it before you can release it back to the environment, but it is a drop in fuel that not everyone can produce that will run in engines just as they are. Its very toxic too, makes methanol look tame when its the type used for fuel.
I guess if we ran out of oil tomorrow and couldnt produce gasoline anymore, and we couldnt build new engines then sure its a great thing. The main reason it is being pushed is because you cant make it yourself, so you have to go to a producer to get it if your car runs on it.

interesting stuff.
cleaning out my 26 year old gas tank found the northern mystery slop, its like thick saliva. dads diesel used to get it in green.
bacteria is among the fuels, doing what it has to.
I was just watching the sun burns via fusion. Why fuel is associated with things getting ripped apart and acting like there is no return .. ridiculous.

On the opposite end of this spectrum, I worked for the dude in the below video as a library research assistant my freshman and sophmore years at UMass (along with working at the diesel garage). I would go into the lab a couple days a week and get a list of research papers he wanted copies of and hunt them down in the library, make the copies, and deliver them to his office. This is the guy that pioneered the bacteria that ate up the oil from the BP spill and junk. I didn't understand one word of the stuff I was copying, but I liked hunting all this junk down in the stacks of the 26-story library building.
This bacteria stuff is really interesting.
Here's Dr. Lovely talking about his bacteria that can clean up the environment.
