I used to know only one Danica name, from one kid of one of my friends. Very rare name, but now no more. Many pregnant women are planning to name their child Danica if it's a girl.
I never knew she is so cool and could really win it! |

A better reason is that it is less likely to get into groundwater and cause cancer than MTBE.

I agree with you there. I haven't come across any credible literature in the official Pub Med ( www.pubmed.com ) about ethanol involved in that pathway.
Ethanol naturally degrades in the environment without our help, but MTBE, synthetically assembled by humans, we have bad reactions to it when let out in the environment, the groundwater smell alone is not tolerated by others, how much more the long term effects? |

In one of the news interviews, ethanol was never mentioned. Only Danica trying to be a Role Model for young girls.
Perhaps there are other news clippings mentioning Danica and promoting ethanol.
I seldom watch TV's and movies, only the news and only up to the forecast. |

There is no connection except that her race car (and all Indianapolis 500 cars) run on pure Ethanol. My post is just light hearted humor. Not seriousness is any manner. Go Danica. - Millet |
