"...but in same time alcohol is renewable bio fuel,ecological safe."

But it is economically bad and if food is considered then a problem for the poor and underfed. A stupid use of food resources (corn, etc.) for a fuel source. And if it was not supported by government largess (read ready profit) then it would not exist. It is a "Fool's errand!"

One of the rare times we agree.
 
I think that use of viable food crops to produce fuel is stupid, almost obscene.  The price of corn products has tripled in the last 5 years.  As long as there are hungry people,  using food crops should be outlawed. Particularly when there are so many other sources of plant sugars that are now wasted.
Wood alcohol has been used for years as a fuel for heating and cooking, example-Sterno.  In the US, thousands of tons of wood waste, sawdust, bark etc. are used for things such as  mulch.  Even
 fall leaves could be used.  The municipalities already collect them, to be composted.
 
More to the topic, a world without good "sipping whiskey" and fine cognac, would just be a world, not a civilization.
Using the experiment with Prohibition as an example, it wouldn't work anyhoo.

Well it seems we have agreed about three times over the years! We might well have agreed more during the years of my imprisonment?
