Deepsea- This board is obsessed with ethanol and something is written about every news item or taxpayer subsidy. There are many ways that ethanol can make a contribution but, right now, the taxpayers are subsidising ADM shareholders and mid-west agri-business. If you are as old as I am, you can remember, Jimma Carter's billions wasted on "syn fuels". That resulted in lots of persons (Democrats, for sure) getting rich on the backs of the tax payers. Naturally not one gallon of anything usable resulted.

Ethanol MAY have a place in our energy chain but NOT because some DC dolts and/or thieves mandate it. XLPI's money will mostly be made from the engine products. They work, are available and we hold the intellectual property. If ethanol does stick, it will be either sugar or "bio" based.

As to the starting, the 15% gas content solves that.

GOOD LUCK!!!

ethanol and biodiesel can also be made way more economically from biomass (look at clme and acmg) good timing on news i think and next week should be great.

David Pimental is quoted in many articles lately about how energy inefficient Ethanol is. The fact is Pimental's tests were done many years ago and since that time Ethanol makers have improved production ways thus making it more efficient. Any time someone puts out an article that's neg. look closely at it...they always take results from Pimental's test.

I remember in the past that it was noted Pimental was receiving grants from a big oil company of $50,000 + per year plus I believe he was also hired by a big oil company. Highly unbiased if you ask me

I just love it when the bashers come out of the woodwork, tells Me THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD FOR XLPI. deepsea, in regards to your posted article I notice there was no author to this nonsence, and furthermore if you want to talk subsidies, then I would venture to even guess how much the oil companies themselves have been subsidized over the past decades. Ethanol is here to stay simply because the populace is fed-up with big oil controlling prices through the ownership of our elected goons....but nice try.........gd
