Do yuh wanna know why? It's because of the word "distilled."

One thing they're worried about in this country is home/farm
distillery. That's because the same alcohol you run in your car is
moonshine. When alcohol fuel use is widespread, more and more people
will apply for the required licenses to make alcohol and some of that
production will undoubtedly be diverted to... um... other uses than
motor fuel. The government fears the growth of a distillery-based
culture similar to home brewing and wine making.

Right now I'll bet they're only issuing licenses to large enterprises
where production can be closely monitored. But at some point smaller
producers will apply and I'm sure there will be a spate of lawsuits by
people who want to make alcohol in lesser amounts but who can't because
they won't be issued a permit by the feds. The feds undoubtedly fear
that alcohol production will get out of control, meaning more
production of tax-free moonshine.

This is the hidden reason why the government wants to skip a generation
of fuel production (alcohol) and jump directly to higher tech fuels
(like hydrogen).
