VLO talked about about installing COES at some of their plants (3?) previously, I think they were torn as to how to do this and just did nothing as a result. Torn between an ICM infringing system and GERS that carried a royalty burden would be my guess.

They should talk to GERS and start getting paid for corn oil rather than giving it away in the DDGS. It is a no brainer, even for a petrolium company.

With the 10% blend wall crumbling and E15 a reality, those ethanol companies that can run and make a profit, even on slim margins will fare better than those cutting output. Ethanol plants have plenty of fixed overheads, to my mind it is better to be working than paying folks not to work. I would be trying to position myself to better take advantage of future demand.

VLO needs to step up to the plate, ask GERS for the best system available and move forward.

If they don't they are going to miss an oppertunity to make money.

The smart and the strong will flourish. The 10% ethanol mandate is not going to disappear. 15% may also become mandated in due course, someone is going to fill that void.....

Just my GERS share price.
