Ethanol Plants

Published: November 4, 2008
I believe the environmental impact far outweighs the benefits of a few added jobs to the county.
Why is the government dumping money into the Everglades cleanup while Highlands County is looking to initiate their very own ridge run-off?
If the plant owners were going to ensure that county residents' gas never exceed $2 per gallon, perhaps the trade-off would be more enticing?
We already have the world's largest, covered greenery south of Lake Placid, a water plant and one ethanol plant to be built in 2009.
Although I have never considered myself an environmentalist, it is obvious that my concerns for the county far outweigh the leadership that is selling us out.
This proposal is as stupid as another pig farm in Iowa: both stink. If there is enough water to support these operations, why I am i limited to one watering per week on my lawn?
