The problem is “If the best numbers are 1.25”.

That number applies to the worst processes out there.

Do you think that none of the ethanol plants recycle any of their water? If you do your mistaken.

Do you think that none of the ethanol plants use advanced distillation techniques? If you do your mistaken.

Do you think that none of the ethanol plants use heat recovery? If you do your mistaken.

Yet the 1.25 number assumes all of the above; no water recycling, no advanced distillation, no heat recovery.

Those numbers are from a group with an agenda - obviously you have joined that group.

US production is declining because there is very little new drilling on “new” fields. Most of the recent on shore has been to extract from fields that have been in service for decades. Many of those fields would of been played out if not for new extraction and drilling techniques.

Ignorance has its price. Let 'em starve.

That's the honesty I'm lookin' for!

Problem is, one of these days it's gonna be you starving, you're just too stupid to see it coming.

Stupidity has its price.

How’s that going to happen?

A year ago I was arguing that we would see plenty of corn, and we have. In fact last years corn was too large for us to use.

We now have what may very well be the largest corn surplus in the last 200 years.

And, the American farmer hasn’t really be unleashed yet. Crop sizes will double in the next 20 years, maybe even in the next 10 or 15. Surpluses will continue to be the farmers nemesis.

Sounds like it's long past time to end the subsidies, then.

The subsidies have been part of a Cheap Food for Consumers Program.

The program is beginning to fall apart because the government doesn’t have enough money to buy the farmers cooperation anymore.
