Gasahol seemed to never catch on because it couldn't compete with gas on price. In general ,the mixture, a blend of 10% ethanol with 90% gas.
ADM/and Corn Products Int. were at one time the buzz of the market, as big corn product suppliers. Cargill/private.
I've only briefly touched on the subject,and there is much more research to be done. I believe there is money to be made in this field. I also believe ethanol has potential as an alternative fuel. This lessens the dependance of foreign oil. After all, corn doesn't grow well in the Middle East. Corn is but one source. Lets discuss Ethanol as an alternative fuel, and any related topics. Lets keep politics only as it relates to the business aspects, on this subject. As far as investing in Ethanol and related stocks. Do your research before you invest in anything. Many stock here are highly speculative and non investment grade. My caveat "LISTEN TO WHAT EVERYBODY HAS TO SAY, BUT DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT, YOURSELF"
