many years ago on this very forum people were saying we should go to alcohol as a fuel. I said it was a bad idea and it will never "be practicable". It wasn't; but I was still shouted down by people that just didn't understand the problems of using alcohol as a motor fuel. Then people jumped on the algae diesel fuel gig. We were going to get our fuel from algae. I showed the math that showed why that wouldn't work. Again I was shouted down.
As far as I recall car makers weren't retooling or adapting for those fuels. They sure are for EVs.
