Ethanol Production

I've had concerns about this for quite some time and was surprised not to hear any comments on eBrandon. I'm glad to hear that I am not alone. There are heavy discussions on this subject, esp. in South America and the US. And finally here in Brandon, today, an article on this. Certainly things are not what they appear or what some would like it to appear. These plants are popping up all over the world and most are being subsidised with our tax money so that food products that should be going to needy starving millions is ending up in the gas tanks of our automobiles. There are so many negatives to these operations I won't list them but all you need do is google and it's overwhelming. And our provincial Government is going to ensure we use the stuff in our tanks come Jan. Sure would like to hear more people discussing this subject. Are there any real positives to this scheme?
