Minnesota was near the front lines of starting up ethanol in fuel supplies. The ethanol plant 15 miles north of me was funded by farmers in the area pooling their money together and building the plant. Minnesota promoted and promotes ethanol fuel as both better for the environment and stretching fuel supplies with local production.
Both.
In the past few years USA has gotten closer to self sufficient on crude oil production, but when there was that terrorist attack on the Saudi refinery a little bit ago fuel prices jumped up; we are not at all truly self sufficient on crude!
As well, ethanol in my pumps is locally grown, unlike crude oil which comes from several states away, or mostly Canada to my local pumps. So the ‘local’ Label still applies to me.
Ain’t nothing in this world perfect, and ethanol won’t be the end all be all solution to our fuel needs forever, but it seems to be a good product to use for some time as we figure out where we go with fuel use.
A century or two ago we traded whale oil to light our houses, it was a big commodity product. Times change and we have to keep up. Today, transportation fuel using some ethanol in gas and some bio oils from soybeans in diesel seem to be our best options to supply the fuel needed at a good value, energy, and environmental mix.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
