Warren, it makes sense to utilize excess heat from power plants or other sources of power generated from waste. All the excess heat from those cooling towers could be a free energy source that would bring the cost of producing ethyl alcohol down significantly. Also lots of heat from existing nuclear facilities could be piped via steam generated at a heat exchanger facility. We probably waste as much energy as we produce that could be used to make alcohol production less expensive and more profitable. It is merely a matter of government incentive, economic feasibility, and favorable legislation.
