Default Ethanol; working now

Katy,

Don't pay to much attention to Dave on this subject, he is an AGAINSTER
of ethanol. He can't seem to realize that Ethanol is a perfected fuel
and getting better all the time.

Cellulosic Ethanol is cheaper and a better fuel than Corn Ethanol and
more and more methods are being developed in its production all the
time. Not all of them are successful as others but Cellulosic Ethanol is
in production now and a proven commercial form of fuel.

Most of the sugar mills in So America have added a Cellulosic Unit to
their operation. It produces profit from what was a waste disposal
problem. The production of Cellulosic Ethanol, when using gas to
separate the Carbon Monoxide from the Alcohol produces Heat. A lot of
heat. They are Co-Generating Electricity with it while using waste and
heat disposal. There are still several other methods being explored and
developed that aren't perfected as yet that hold promise. That may what
"Chicken Little Dave" is talking about.
