This really makes me laugh, nobody wants this in there back yard. This is the reason there are so few oil refineries and so few wind farms. Unless you want to live like the amish, quit complaining and be glad we are trying to reduce our dependance on foreign oil.
Having an ethanol plant this far east has no logic. Farms in this county are already importing over half the grain that they are using to feed their livestock. Where is this extra corn going to come from that this plant will use? Why not build these plants where the corn is, out in the middle of nowhere iowa and kansas. The price of corn has skyrocked over the last year leading farmers to plant the largest corn crop in history this season. Corn is what they call a highly erodable crop. More soil is lost to our streams with corn then almost any other crop except maybe tobacco. Has anyone considered what effect this plant will have on the Chesapeake Bay?
