It is only the current processes in common use at this time that are at fault, not the fuel.

Well stated. Glad to see a reduction in corn based ethanol and more sugar beet ethanol.
So when do they start subsidies for soy or algea biodiesel ??
Redpoint5, maybe the increased supply will lower the cost of non-denatured ethamol
Now there's a subsidy I can get behind !
