Study: Ethanol may cause more smog, deaths
"Nearly 200 more people would die yearly from respiratory problems if all vehicles in the United States ran on a mostly ethanol fuel blend by 2020, the research concludes." This is from the article.
"It's not green in terms of air pollution," said study author Mark Jacobson, a Stanford University civil and environmental engineering professor. "If you want to use ethanol, fine, but don't do it based on health grounds. It's no better than gasoline, apparently slightly worse."

Really nice article. And I agree that in time that Ethanol could cause more smog and deaths. If possible we should cut back on driving or carpool as much as possible. Walk whens it nice.
All you hear about ethanol is how good it is, and how we should all use it. I am glad, not that it is causing all of these deaths and smog, but that we can do something to solve this, and quickly i hope
