Biggest waste of money I've ever seen. A simple ploy by the Dim controlled Congress to garner the votes of the farmers and re-election contributions from the companies building the dumb refineries.

Extremely interesting in the fact all of a sudden the US can build ethanol refineries, but not oil refineries.

Not to mention put the effort into spending $7 in costs to produce $1 worth of ethanol, but not put money into drilling more oil & gas off the coasts.

BTW, sugar beets require 1/3 the fertilizer than than that corn and will yield 3-4 times ethanol with < 1/2 the disease / insect and weather problems.

We have so much natural gas available to us...it ain't funny...right here on our own soil.

WTF??

I agree. This is stupidity of monumental proportion.
