So much for that alternative fuel? A story in the NY Times reports "the industry is burdened with excess capacity, and plants are shutting down virtually every week." Last Summer, Alabama opened two special gas stations on I-65 to sell ethanol, and a plant in Livingston started producing the fuel as a sort of demonstration. You can read about the company behind the plant on their website here...but I couldn't find a single online news story about it since then. Isn't it amazing how we all worry about the cost of fuel and get ready to trade in our guzzlers as soon as gas hits a "high"price, but go back to wasteful ways as soon as it drops. Gas is up in Alabama in recent weeks...time to start looking at ethanol again?
