In Farm Belt, Ethanol Plants Hit Resistance

The state's been kinda crazy for this for a few years now - good to see the shine wearing off. The plants are not all they're cracked up to be, that's for sure, and while I'm sure my neighbors like to have a new market for their corn, the tradeoffs can be pretty steep.

The era in which a new ethanol distillery in agricultural America was greeted with delight seems to be ending.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
