>Does the technology of ethanol production lend itself to on-farm production?
Sure does, after all thousands of moonshiners did it with hardly any
technology. <G>
Seriously, the biggest obstacle to increasing the use of fuels like
biodiesel (where ethanol is used to manufacture it) and ethanol are
the archaic rules and regulations regarding distilled spirits. Trying
to get a permit to distill ethanol from local sources (we have a lot
of things locally that would be good sources) is impossible. Heck,
even trying to get a microbrewery or winery license is a PITA!
