Bill Jones covered the following issues:

What are the reasons for shifting to Ethanol instead of gasoline made from fossil fuels?

  • Ban on MTBE the gasoline oxygenate because of ground water pollution
  • Federal Government, Bush Administration moving away from dependence on foreign oil
  • Ethanol is a renewable fuel, made from corn, more readily available than fossil fuels

What pressures have generated political support for Ethanol as an alternative fuel?

  • Environmental demands to reduce hydrocarbons
  • Public outrage at gasoline pump prices
  • Infrastructure for process/delivery of Ethanol already in place
  • Desire to create more employment and increase tax revenue

Will government maintain support for Bio Fuel incentives?

  • Growing need for less dependence for foreign oil from Iran, Iraq, Venezuela
  • Open market for Ethanol
