All these anti ethanol articles are stupid. Refineries can't process the light crude that comes from U.S. wells, so you either pay through the nose to import heavy crude, or you can brew ethanol and biodiesel from the excess grain that normally gets exported.

Yes Karen, the United States has plenty of excess grain. It does not take food from your table to turn that excess into fuel.

Support your local farmers and buy domestic fuels. It's the American thing to do.

Wow. I'll just leave you with this... Where is it used exclusively biodiesel... Our experiencing increased cancer rates. You know from aerosolizing the glyphosine that they spray the corn with... But you go ahead and breathe deep my friend. Not even getting into the Weeds about the amount of energy it takes to produce ethanol it's not a good trade but whatever....

So you're saying that shipping heavy crude from the Arctic circle, Venezuela, and Iraq is somehow cleaner? Burning diesel to send crude halfway across the globe versus transporting grain to distilleries that are often located within tens of miles from the farms?

I should remind you that heavy crude is not a renewable resource. We have to continually drill deeper and further away to meet demand, and there will be a point where all wells stop producing. A smart person would start planning to replace heavy crude with whatever else is available in excess, and right now that happens to be grain. There is no avoiding the collapse of oil infrastructure, so you better get used to the alternatives.

And there's a lot of evidence supporting the crude is a renewable resource..(but when you're manufacturing scarcity you don't want to admit to that) old Wells All over Texas are refilling themselves.... But that's none of my business.
