Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) is breaking ground on two wells in the Decatur region, raising controversy over its draining of the water supply for the residents in the area. The demand for water from ADM is so strong it has resulted in major changes to the Decatur water system which will result in residents having water rates soaring by about 120 percent over the next three years. This

Saying the margins have improved for ethanol production, Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE: VLO) announced it has restarted production at its Linden, Indiana plant. It had been closed since last year as margins shrunk. A drop in the price of corn is the main contributor to the improved margins, as the price has dropped to $7.26-1/4 a bushel, down 14 percent from an all-time high of $8.43-3/4 a bushel.

The problem of government involvement in the markets is they without fail always screw it up and the result is unintended consequences. That's the case with ethanol, an artificial construct in America which couldn't survive without subsidies and worse: legal force requiring its use. This is the case even with the horrid idea of corn-based ethanol, which demands enormous inputs that are worse

The Brazilian government plans to exempt fuel ethanol of certain taxes that if approved by regulators could be equivalent to 10 per cent of the pump price, the Valor Economico newspaper reported on Monday. The government could lift the so-called PIS/Cofins taxes applied to the biofuel as soon as April, the newspaper said without saying how it acquired the information. Valor Economico reported

A Wisconsin ethanol plant could break into the cellulosic ethanol market thanks to a partnership with a New York-based cellulosic sugar producer. Ace Ethanol of Stanley, which opened in 2002 as Wisconsin’s first large-scale corn ethanol production facility, has signed a long-term commercial agreement with Sweetwater Energy, Inc., from Rochester, N.Y., to generate cellulosic ethanol at Ace’s plant

Of all the ethanol articles I've read, this one is probably the most ignorant I've ever seen. For example, this silly, misguided elitist person talks down to people in Tennessee, saying they need more ethanol education there because gas station owners were marketing gas that had no ethanol in it. She asks this meaningless question: "So how does a fuel like ethanol remain a fuel choice for more

With the presidential elections in the U.S. just a short couple of months away, you would think one of the candidates and/or political parties would tackle the horrendous ethanol scam. But alas that's not going to happen. According to Robert Bryce at The Daily Beast, it's all about votes, even though the devastating practice and support and enablement from the U.S. government continues. He

Ethanol production plummeted last week to 821,000 barrels a day, a decline of 4.2 percent in the United States. That the lowest ethanol production level since July 2010, according to an Energy Department report. With corn prices surging towards $8 a bushel, over the next couple of months we could see ethanol demand plunge even more. Because there is little hope of rain coming soon, the

Copying a number of other producers of ethanol in the United States, Pacific Ethanol (PEIX) is the latest to add a corn oil business to its revenue streams. At this time Pacific Ethanol is installing corn oil separation technology at one of its four plants, and will have the rest outfitted with it by the first quarter of 2013, according to the company. They added that revenue should be

I wonder if the politicians in Mississippi know how to read or listen, as the news of the hundreds of millions wasted on so-called renewable energy by the Obama administration doesn't seemed to have reached the deep south, with Mississippi throwing around $75 million in low interest loans for the building of cellulosic biofuels plant in the state. They also have offered up $155 million in tax

The bill to stop the outrageous tax credit for the destructive production of corn ethanol needs be supported and passed, which will save taxpayers $6 billion a year and get us out of a policy which is as damaging to the environment as any there is. Congressional opponents of the $6-billion-a-year blenders credit see eliminating it as a no-brainer, while stalwart advocates are likely to put up a

America's farmers are closely eyeing commodity prices to help them decide what crops they should plant in their fields. For American farmers, the options look great economically. Soybean futures are fetching 44 percent more than last year; wheat futures now get 69 percent more than a year ago and corn futures are up a full 92 percent. But for buyers, especially in countries like China, India,

Cutting the deficit is more important than protecting the ethanol industry if it comes to that, says Sen. Chuck Grassley, long the biofuel industry's most powerful ally in Congress. Grassley said Tuesday that he would vote for a deficit-cutting bill even it includes two House-passed provisions that are intended to slow the ethanol industry's growth.

Former President Clinton added his voice to those with concerns about U.S. corn usage for ethanol production. In a major speech this morning to USDA’s Outlook Forum, Clinton warned that competition for food stock could impact food prices and spark food riots in developing countries. Clinton, who now works on international development issues through his New York-based foundation, said that U.S.

Ethanol production is outstripping levels mandated by the government, increasing pressure on corn supplies, according to the Agriculture Department. USDA’s chief economist, Joseph Glauber, said that that ethanol production is currently running at at more than 13.5 billion gallons on an annualized basis, well over the 12.6 billion gallons required this year by the federal renewable fuel standard.

Ethanol futures soared the most in over than five years in Chicago after a government report estimated corn supplies will be lower than a prior forecast, signaling higher costs for plants that produce the biofuel. Futures increased after the U.S. Agriculture Department estimated the domestic corn crop will drop 3.4 percent from last year, the second reduction to its projection in as many months.

U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, will introduce legislation which would offer gas stations to decide whether or not they want to use gas without ethanol at the pump. A draconian law will soon go into effect which will force everyone to offer gas with ethanol in it, even though many people don't want to put the stuff into their cars and equipment, because of the proven ethanol causes.

Getting approval from the Department of Energy, ICM will soon begin construction on a $25 million cellulosic ethanol plant, which will be built in St. Joseph, Missouri. Along with the plant will be a demonstration facility.

Pacific Ethanol (Nasdaq:PEIX) announced recently it is reorganizing the company in order to bring its four production subsidiaries out of bankruptcy.

It's unbelievable what America and the radical environmentalists are getting away with. Ethanol is the latest attempt to force Americans to adhere to what can only be called a religion, with their god being the earth and the environment. To even resist the monster is to be called a name, and that name is now a derisionary "gas purist." Here's one example: "Eric “Ric” Foster, the owner of a

Meat producers in America are rightly calling for an end to the subsidies given them by the government in order to misguidedly create ethanol industry.

Low ethanol prices continue to take a toll on the so-called industry, as an ethanol plant was closed in Buffalo Lake by Minnesota Energy. This is completely based on price and margins,according to chairman of the board of the company, Randy Byro.
