They are trying to build one of those stupid ethanol plants literally in my back yard. The village is only interested in the property tax dollars. The ethanol bubble will burst soon.
I am not a strong proponent of ethanol, but I doubt it will be over soon.
Unfortunately, it's not a bubble. It's a deliberate plundering of taxpayers by a powerful political interest group. An ethanol plant is a good investment from an individual investor's point of view because of the massive subsidies our government hands out. If not for the subsidies, the whole ethanol industry would collapse overnight. Unfortunately, those subsidies are not going away because of the political power of the corn lobby.
