Ethanol takes another hit
Ethanol take another hit. The negatives keep adding up. This is actually something I never thought of. Water is already becoming like oil in some parts of the US.

For biorefineries, the water consumed for the ethanol production process -- although modest compared with the water used growing biofuel crops -- could substantially affect local water supplies, the committee concluded. A biorefinery that produces 100 million gallons of ethanol a year would use the equivalent of the water supply for a town of about 5,000 people
