Default cellulosic E85

Detroit 2008: ALMS announces Green Challenge, Corvette goes cellulosic E85 - AutoblogGreen

If I'm not mistaken "cellulosic" is basically scraps of garbage, some grasses and misc other refuse.

Also...
scroll down to page 10 if it doesn't come up

I love running E85 and even have an alchol fuel producers license.
I don't see the HUGE push for Celulostic over "First Gen E85" It's all coming from Corn that we used to pay farmers NOT to grow. so there is a HUGE positive Carbon reduction.. although I support it for economic reasons since I really am not a "Green" driver but I don't need to have a masters in Macroeconomics to see that money that stays in america is a good thing.
