Its more than that. Ethanol production is great corporate and SUV
welfare. There is a proposal to build a plant locally and part of the
deal would be a >$100 Million subsidy to be pulled out of the taxpayers
pockets to build the facility plus an operating subsidy and waiver of
liquid fuels taxes to be able to sell the ethanol below its actual cost.
If its such a great thing why isn't private enterprise doing it
completely on its own?
