"...or ethanol, which is not produced here in CA."

But there is no reason that we can't produce it here. - Just the cannery waste alone, which is now being dumped into the sewers, would produce more than three times as much ethyl as we need (actually we don't need any, but that's another story) for motor fuels.

It's time for the hype to stop.

A study commissioned last October estimated it will cost $29 billion to remove MTBE from water and soil nationwide. "I think there may well be economic disruptions from phasing it out," Young said. "But there will be economic disruptions no matter when we phase it out."

Wow!

You bet. We really don't need MTBE or Ethanol.

If you look at the web site referenced at the end of the article it appears that they have done a study on a California based Biomass business to produce ethanol!

Well, this is just a coincidence, but it may be an interesting one.

"MTBE" is a famous programmer acronym for "mean-time-between-errors" used to track how often hardware or software malfunctions...
