That's a good start. Next, we should convert them over to making something useful instead of the idiotic and wasteful idea of diverting our food and feed supply into automotive fuel using one of the most inefficient processes for doing so.

Shouldn't VeraSun give back all of the money the taxpayers gave them?

Good! Ethanol uses way to much water to produce a gallon of ethanol. Very in-efficient to produce ethanol. Go Vikings!

Great news. Ethanol is worse than a Ponzi. Campaign dollars to legislators and you get legalized Ponzi with everyone required to buy regardless of the damage to vehicles and the envirionment. At least with a Ponzi you have to fool me in to playing. Close them all..

Can't they use these ethanol plants to produce pure alcohol without the process of using water? Nothing like 160 proof and a coke! Go Vikings!
