Another stupid Socialist idea destine to fail… Cellulosic ethanol plant anywhere does not equal good business logic… Cost to convert vehicles to E85 in this nation would be over 3 trillion dollars if even possible…Current comparison of production of Cellulosic ethanol (break even) would have to have oil priced at $120.00 per barrel… Almost double what it is today…Who*****is going to subsidize this Al Gore? Wake up People! Or should I say Sheeple?

NIAGARA, Wis. - New North Inc. has released phase two of a study on the feasibility of a cellulosic ethanol plant in Niagara, Wis.

New North Inc. is a regional collaboration effort focused on promoting regional cooperation and economic development in an 18-county region in Northeast Wisconsin, including Marinette and Florence counties.

On July 29, officials released phase one of the study conducted by Resource Analytics, which found that sufficient biomass resources existed in the surrounding area to support a cellulosic ethanol plant.

Phase two demonstrates substantial interest among individuals and companies to provide biomass resources, particularly wood resources, to such a facility, provided the plant could support diverse types of feedstocks.

"As second generation biofuels emerge as a fuel source, the New North is well-positioned to take advantage with the resources and infrastructure necessary to create them," said Jerry Murphy, executive director of New North Inc. "This study has demonstrated that a cellulosic ethanol facility at the former Niagara paper mill site has a great deal of promise for potential investors."

In addition to wood resources, which provide the best option in the short-term, the study also notes the possibility of creating switchgrass supplier cooperatives in conjunction with the establishment of an ethanol plant over the coming years.

Phase two of the study is available for download at www.tinyurl.com/biomassstudy2, and phase one is available at www.tinyurl.com/biomassstudy." Ethanol facility promising at Niagara mill - IronMountainDailyNews.com | news, sports, business, jobs - The Daily News

Why not give all the workers laid off at the New Page mill $50,000 each to move on? Instead of government subsidies, grants and government red tape waste, just give them the money! Remember the $8000.00 cash for clunkers really cost $24,000 per car, lets just give money to people directly! Stupid crazy socialized lame brain ideas, a ethanol plant!
