Re: Ethanol, again.

That means corn would have to be trucked to the plant from hundreds of miles away - and that would mean a net energy loss with any ethanol made there. That's doesn't solve any energy problems, it's just wasteful.
You're making an assumption that there isn't enough corn locally, but neither you nor I know the exact amount grown in the area. One would think that they wouldn't build a plant where the raw materials were to expensive to obtain. There's also the issue of by products, animal feed, and there is an abundance of users in this area for that.
This might be pertinent.
