Has anybody researched how much a processing plant for ethanol actually costs to get up and running? We don’t have alternative fuel sources right now, but need to work towards it.

With the big stink over NAFTA and Ohio, it occurs to me that we have a lot of processing plants for oil. We have large companies that fund these. These companies are Exxon, Conoco, Citgo, ect.

We have this problem with relying on other countries that we don’t always play nice with for oil.

I have been told Ohio can grow corn. Even if they couldn’t, it has been told to me that we can use our used fast food oil for processing.

We are America, the land of innovators. Why not make a new business? A new industry. Only, this one can’t be outsourced, only borrowed in idea. If states like Ohio could deregulate enough to be attractive to business, then they would be attractive for companies.

In the future, I am going to be finding research and reporting on it, to become part of the move towards alternative fuel sources. Any information from anywhere is appreciated.
