Here is news about the push to increase ethanol in U.S. gasoline to 15% as well as arguments regarding which is worse for the environment and the economy, biofuel power or electric power.

It is a wide ranging article.  I have a flex fuel pick up, that means I can put E85 in it.  Perhaps once I saw that choice.  Switching 10% (and it generally says up to 10% on the pump) to 15% ethanol isn't realistic.  The AMA is worried about there being more pumps beside the 10% ones for confusion.  Aren't motorcycles generally 10% ethanol max.  I am pretty sure the ecoboost Ford products are 10 %max.

Apparently wood pellet plants are being built in certain parts of the USA, the pellets are shipped to Europe to satisfy the renewable mix for electricity generation.  Much watching where we here in the USA go on the biomass scoring.

My understanding it that motorcycles are not happy with any more than 10% ethanol in their fuel and using E15 may void your warranty if there is engine damage.
