Fuel Options
I work in the IT industry, and one of the columns that I used to read was the “Robert X. Cringley” column in the back of Infoworld. One of the “Roberts” that used to write that column now has a blog, and he often posts interesting information.
Like the column I read today:
It’s the Platform, Stupid: Baby steps are the way to energy independence
He talks about a new fuel additive made from ethanol for use in airplane engines, which are currently still using lead additives to increase octane. Lead use in airplane engines is going to be illegal after 2010, so this small company has been working on a replacement. It’s interesting, and worth a read.
