Ethanol 2.0

Ethanol 2.0
Unfortunately, I have not seen much good-news in the news lately about ethanol...that is, until today. Apparently, some really smart science types at MSU have figured out a way to improve the production of ethanol by a factor of 20. No, that's not a typo. That's a factor of 20. Or 2,000%, if you prefer.

That is good news for sure Jim. Hopefully those 4 ladies in white coats can properly employ this MEC technology & make it useful in ethanol production
You guys above are concerned about price when our concern should be on the future of ethanol. It could quickly fade away if this Mid West drought continues or government help subsides

Hypothetically speaking...
Let's say ethanol production is increased by a factor of 20, and yet the price reduction is only by a 2:1 factor. So, instead of $3.15/gal, E85 only drops to $1.57/gal. Do you think that will still cause a dramatic shift in usage for every flex fuel car and truck out there?

All of us on E85 maybe in for a serious supply issue in the coming months
Some of you may have heard, but the Midwest is suffering one the most serious droughts in decades (Wide spread crop damage occurring now). Harvest time is in the fall
I read where Valero & Nedak Ethanol have shut down or idled some of their ethanol plants
Be great if this new technology was employed ASAP
