Too bad we have all this endorsement of ethanol while continuing to demonize the less expensive (and more plentiful) coal-to-liquids fuels. Synthetic diesel at least can move by pipeline, unlike ethanol. And pipelines don't derail!

Isn't there a 40 mph restriction for hazardous chemicals, such as ethonol?
Also, there was a recent derailment of an NS unit ethenol train. Although 9 cars did catch fire, the whole train did not go.
