Lanse,

The problem I am encountering with researching ethanol is sifting through all of the information that is out there and trying to tell which facts are not special interest driven. Those numbers will change some based on increased production effeciency. There arecurrently about 100 ethanol plants with that increasing say 75 to 100% in 2012. Maybe more. Thereare just too many variables and too many conflicting statistics.

IMHO, the real gains are to be made in fuel efficiency,public transportation improvements, viable/cost effective hydrogen production, affordable hybrid technology. Jamie
