family seeks county's ok to make their own ethanol

Published Jul. 23, 2008

I commend them for doing everything they can to make things better forthemselves.  The price of gas is out of control and this family is actually doing something besides just compaining about it.  I would hope that the county may be interested in what they are doing to try to save themselves some money as well.

Try telling the revenuers that still was for ethanol, and then get a good attorney.

I see someone trying to set up a distillery.

It is pretty much the same as the process for making White Lightening.

how exactly does one MAKE their own ethanol????

The ethanol myth lives on. Corned based ethanol production is one reason we are seeing higher food prices, since corn is a major feedstock. With state of the art technology, the plants still stink. It takes alot of energy to produce ethanol. Finally, if you burn an ethanol blend of greater than 15%, be prepared to replace your fuel system.

From all the research that has been done and from what they tell us I can't see much difference in the cost of producing ethanol and gas. They are talking about the expense and as said the corn market is reaching the ceiling as well. I think there are better alternatives out there than ethanol. I say if this family is willing to foot the bill, can promise no pollution while doing it and feel they can do this then let them at least try...........

I have been drilling for oil in my backyard. So far I am down 2000 feet and have not hit yet. I also am building a refinery. After all once I hit the crude, it does me no good if I can not produce the gasoline.

Hey if these folks can do this, I say let them at it. If we still had most of our liberties, he would not have to ask anyone, he could just do it.

the govt needs to be able to get some revenue, so unless they can tax it, I don't think they are gonna allow us to grow our own energy!

As I gaze into my Crystal Ball I see the homeowners association having problems with this grand idea.

im with wolf on this, id rather jus complain
