Eh, corn ethanol was a bad idea from the start, and a disaster in practice. This is a mercy killing. More money needs to be thrown at the research for other sources like cellulose.

Now if Venture Capitalists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_Capitalist) were not in fear of being penalized by an Obama administration, with higher Capital Gains taxes, maybe they would help...

Good riddance. Corn ethanol was never feasable without subsidies and was a net energy sink besides.

$5B/year subsidy was nothing but Repugs subsidizing BigFarma, no matter what the costs to the environment or how many people starved due to high corn/soy prices when food was wasted to make fuel. More Repug blood-for-money

It's a formula for one method of a PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) loop, used to control smooth movement of robotics. I have had to tune several robots over the years...

Thank God we have democrats in control of congress, and a democrat president in January so we can eliminate subsidies.

I'm OK with that, You?
