1ºDa Benski dude, I designed ethanol production plants for a living when biodiesel was a thing. I think I can sit here and tell you that is most definitely not how it works.
Industrial ethanol is NOT denatured unless purposely being needed as such, like for the Healthcare industry for disinfection purposes to discourage its consumption. Other than that, no propanol is added to it and hence it's NOT denatured.
Also, I would like to point out the article does not explicitly state the ethanol was denatured.
As stated previously, if such were the case, this conversation would be pretty different.
Ethanol is not denatured by default and it's non-toxic unless denatured.
TL;DR Ethanol ≠ Denatured Alcohol
2ºChris Bryan enough fuel flowing into each town and city to keep it going without interruption? you think gasoline, chemicals, oil, etc. should be piped into every place they're needed? Please understand what you're saying. There are THOUSANDS of towns all over this country, and sooo many huge cities. There are many hazardous, explosive, and volatile chemicals that travel by train, and not all of them liquid. Do you think it's doable to pour all of that through pipes into each town and city, the hundreds of gas stations, factories and plants within those cities? Are you not aware that non-liquefied hazardous chemicals can't go through pipes? Are you not aware that it would require millions of miles of pipes? Are you not aware that pipes leak? Are you not aware of the volume of chemicals that would have to be pushed through those pipes to reach every place that needs them?

IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH
I have watched this week's unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words "Equal Justice Under Law" are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.
When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside.
We must reject any thinking of our cities as a "battlespace" that our uniformed military is called upon to "dominate." At home, we should use our military only when requested to do so, on very rare occasions, by state governors. Militarizing our response, as we witnessed in Washington, D.C., sets up a conflict—a false conflict—between the military and civilian society. It erodes the moral ground that ensures a trusted bond between men and women in uniform and the society they are sworn to protect, and of which they themselves are a part. Keeping public order rests with
civilian state and local leaders who best understand their communities and are answerable to them.

James Madison wrote in Federalist 14 that "America united with a handful of troops, or without a single soldier, exhibits a more forbidding posture to foreign ambition than America disunited, with a hundred thousand veterans ready for combat." We do not need to militarize our r
esponse to protests. We need to unite a
round a common purpose. And it starts by guaranteeing that all of us are equal before the law.
Instructions given by the military departments to our troops before the Normandy invasion reminded soldiers that "The Nazi slogan for destroying us...was 'Divide and Conquer.' Our American answer is 'In Union there is Strength.'" We must summon that unity to surmount this crisis—confident that we are better than our politics.
Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.
We can come through this trying time stronger, and with a renewed sense of purpose and respect for one another. The pandemic has shown us that it is not only our troops who are willing to offer the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of the community. Americans in hospitals, grocery stores, post offices, and elsewhere have put their lives on the line in order to serve their fellow citizens and their country. We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square. We must reject and hold accountable th
o
se in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution. At the same time, we must remember Lincoln's "better angels," and listen to them, as we work to unite.
Only by adopting a new path—which means, in truth, returning to the original path of our founding ideals—will we again be a country admired and respected at home and abroad.
