"I wonder how well we could compete if we raise a great crop.."

well at least that is the silver lining.. looks like we're gonna find out.. no wonder Big Oil is worried...  "got to get this puppy slowed down..."

67% of the growth in domestic motor fuel energy supplies since.. like 2005 has come from ethanol..  The Bakken for all it's hype.. is cranking out something like 67% of what etoh does.. EVEN AFTER A DROUGHT...

Say Illinois rocks.. 225 for an average and the US does.. 14.3.. for kicks and giggles... I don't think so THIS year.. but...???  someday.. "could happen"... and we can do 6.1 byn bu etoh grind.. 2.79 conversion / 42 gallons /bbls / 365 days/yr = 1.1 myn bbls/day... vs the Bakken.. ???  are they up to 650 yet..??

.. plus cellulosic..  btw.. neighbor has a contract to ship boo koo amount of bales to Hugoton...  Personally I think separating the refuse at landfills makes as much or more sense.. and there's.. ?? 145 lbs of trash per person per year.. x 335 myn...  = ALOT more there...

hmmm... maybe it is time to start shorting crude...??  eh... think I would want to see this corn crop make the bin first though...???
