Dept of Energy knew all along...Changing Diesel Fuel would...

it would take too long to post all of the links, so just do a google search for 'stanford university study on ethanol'. it's not just the emissions themselves, but how they react with the ozone in the air.

Don't quote me on this because I have no facts, but I'd venture a guess to say that diesel is consumed at a much higher rate than gasoline, and an outrageously higher rate than ethanol. So even if what you say is true, it makes sense to make one small change that will have a much greater impact than it is to make one big change with almost no impact (eliminating ethanol would be the BIG change with little to no impact).

Regarding the ethanol emissions being better than gas. I've seen a report the Canadian government did on ethanol emissions testing. There was a 0% difference between the two. They did the tests with the engines hot and cold, at idle, half throttle and wot. No difference except that you use more fuel with ethanol because of the lower energy content... its also funny that I've only seen the report once... never made it to the news... I wonder why...
