Ethanol plants are refineries! I support ethanol 100% but I sometimes wish that it would go away so all of you naysayers could choke on the increased gasoline prices.
Refineries should be defined as cracking crude oil (petroleum) into usable products. Mixing ethenol with petro-products is not part of the refinery process. It has led to ridiculous regional gas-blends which are phony and expensive. While you cheerleads are going nuts over ethanol, we are all in fact choking on the unintended consequence of increased food costs - and that has exponentially helped screw up the overall economy.
