---------------------------------

Next our plants are not set up to mix and process the ethanol in our gas - it will take big bucks!

Next Beef is that we are already set up to use other addtives that are more effective at cutting down emissions.

So, it is going to cost a lot of money, increase gas prices, cause more pollution.

Normally, I would be happy that it is renewable but in this case it is not such a great idea.
