The Ethanol Fallacy: Op-Ed
So why not build corn liquor stills on an industrial scale and use the output to power our cars and trucks?
That’s exactly what this country has been doing for the past several years. Some 134 ethanol plants are now in operation, consuming close to 1.6 billion bushels of grain, about 15 percent of our total corn production.
Making corn into ethanol subtracts value.
Unless you can drink the stuff and then it adds a whole lot of value!
