I Stumbled across the "alcohol insider" article below. It's truly
frightening in that it displays the investment being made in the absurdity,
and some unadvertised aspects. It's a tidal wave as irresistible as Katrina
and FAR more expensive and destructive, not just to the GMC but to our
entire economy. The quotations I extracted are significant to me: The
increasing IMPORTATION of ethanol (right! -- exchange our dependence on
imported oil in favor of imported alcohol) and the looming completion of the
dictatorial decrees.

"They note an increase in ethanol imports because of three key issues: (1)
insufficient corn-growing capacity in the United States, (2) geographic
location of certain U.S. states where it is logistically smarter to use
imported ethanol, and (3) the need to secure supply for both ethanol and
gasoline."
“The statewide mandate of E10 in Pennsylvania will be triggered when an
annual in-state production capacity reaches 200 million gallons,” she says.
“Oregon requires mandates of E10 blends once in-state ethanol production
reaches 40 million gallons per year (MMGY), while Montana sets E10 mandates
to begin 12 months after 40 MMGY of ethanol had been produced in the state.
Minnesota’s E10 mandate has been in effect since 2003 and they’re now aiming
for an E20 mandate by 2013.”
