Water—despite the flooding in the Midwest-— IS NOT in abundant supply in the western half og the country.
Are we going to deny the use of water to grow our food so that the water can be used for fuel?
The Ethanol debacle is really hitting the skids, IMO, with the flooding and hail and heavy rain ruining the corn crop in about 7 states that are high in corn production. There will be no or very little crop of corn this year, and with any surface crop that is subject to Mother Nature, it is an uncertain source for fuel or food each and every year. Where are the Ethanol refineries going to get their raw materials this year???
