I keep hearing about the E85 (corn based) fuel in discussions of global climate issues. But I don’t understand why.
I do understand that biofuels would reduce the need to import foreign oil. I also understand the concerns about converting food-producing cropland to the production of oil. But the biggest disconnect for me is understanding how E85 has any positive effect on CO2 emissions.
