An odd thought about ethanol

At least in one aspect, the renewable fuel should have quelled the debunkers. The cars and pickups you drive are running longer than ever. Recently I was having dinner with a few farmers and we got to talking about ethanol - they are members of their state's commodity groups and they support ethanol. And I was sharing how whenever I write about ethanol, I will get a note or comment from someone who hates the fuel. It doesn't happen every time (and ethanol haters are welcome to comment below) but it does happen.

We must wage war on cost. We must place an emphasis on marketing. Over time in this column, I wil

How Biodiesel Came Into the Picture

“We” had too much -an overproduction of- soybean oil, so a farm checkoff program led to the funding necessary to begin what is now a major biodiesel industry (with taxpayer help). Every couple of years, the biodiesel per gallon tax credit is passed (usually retroactive to the last lapse of coverage) in Congress in their “cleaning up” end of the year bill. credit: unitedsoybean.org
