East central Iowa, Camanche, Iowa | Absolutely!!!! I do not care for the environmentalist mindset. I just wanted to show how the lack of refining capacity that I believe was the result of environmentalist pressure and regulations over the last 40 years has helped the ethanol industry at a point where the tables have been turned and ethanol is more expensive than gasoline.
I remember in the 70's during the first oil crisis when ethanol was touted as a way to extend the limited supply of gasoline. Then as the clean air act came into play ethanol became a cheap means to achieve the stricter standards set forth in the clean air act. Then during the farm crisis ethanol played an important part in opening a new market for corn.
Environmentalist will never be happy and it is important to beat them at their own game. The biggest problem agriculture has is it needs to take a chapter out of the environmentalist playbook in taking the message to the masses, not preach to the choir.
