I've seen comercials on TV pushing ethenol - suggesting if everyone used it
there would not be a fuel shortage,
Is that accurate? Isn't 15% the max % of ethenol that can be used on autos
realistically?
Didn't I read on this list someone say Ethenol is a negative return? i.e.,
it takes more than a gallon of gasoline to produce a gallon of ethenol?

Two more 50-100 million gallon per year refineries were announced today,
in
the same small town. There are refineries popping up at the rate of
several a month. It is just that they are making ethanol or biod.
We do need some new oil refineries.

You;re right - it's been close to 30 years since a new refinery came on
line - 1978 IIRC....
I'd like to see some new refineries with modern technology built (and some
nuclear power stations) but I fear we'll let the foreigners provide our
oil
for the foreseeable future. I read a few years ago about the cost to
build
something as innocuous as a warehouse built on land in Ca. already owned
by
a company needed for expansion (and more jobs) - after spending over $1
million in fees and studies over a 10 year period, the company gave up.
Then they moved the whole operation to Idaho who welcomed them with open
arms.
A refinery doesn't have a chance --
