Subject: Ethanol, a non renewable resource.


South West MN		Is ethanol really a renewable resource?

Put up a wind tower and you get electricity for 20 years with a little maintenance. Takes a 200 square foot pad, can farm around it and can recycle everything but the blades when done. The electricity runs to your house by wires, no trucks. Plug in your car at night.


Want ethanol? Every year you need to plant corn which uses diesel , fertilizer, chemicals (natural resources). Then you truck it to a plant for processing, then truck it to a refinery for blending then truck it to a gas station.


It’s no wonder ethanol is a hard sell. 20 years and it can’t stand on its own. Better try selling it as clean air verses renewable. But it is not as clean as a wind farm and electric car.

My 2 cents from a corn producer and distillers user.
