U.S. corn-based ethanol worse for the climate than...
So "oil and water don't mix", as is often said. Oil/ gas with corn based additives DO mix with water, so it cannot be piped through a pipeline, thus making it be carried totally by truck, and making it's carbon footprint even worse.

It cannot be put in existing pipelines. You can build a whole new pipeline that will carry ethanol. Nobody wants to invest that much money.

I kind of doubt any of it is transported by truck but most likely by train.

I was told, while working at a Refinery, that is was mostly done by truck.
