Ethanol and tinfoil.

[kansasblue]

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh today (someone sitting in for him). They were talking about the down side of ethanol.

I'll admit I'm biased in favor of ethanol being from the corn producing area. Another market for corn, reduction in foreign oil imports. Lot's of upside.

On my drive to central Nebraska I passed two new large ethanol plants under construction. One in south central Nebraska south of York and the new (in production) plant at Ord, NE. The south central plant is one of MANY being built by Fagen.

So who would stand to gain from making ethanol the demon? Even DU threads are regularly negative on ethanol. I'm going to put on my tinfoil hat here and say I think big oil is behind this. I'll keep an open mind as long as everyone else does too. Why do you think ethanol is bad? and where do your 'facts' come from?




Ethanol is 200-proof alcohol, usually made from corn, that is finding acceptance as an additive to oxygenated gasoline and being touted by advocates as a cleaner-burning alternative fuel that could reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
