My Home Town

In the town I grew up in, Fulton, NY, talks abound for refitting the closed Miller beer plant (their 10-year tax abatement ended in the early '90s during recession and they bailed) to produce ethanol. Boing! Great Idea! Talk about the perfect fit, it's already geared for making alcohol, has rail attachments, is in the middle of corn country, and is in the middle of an economically depressed area. I see wins all around me.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether politicians do the seemingly intelligent thing and help make it happen or if it just remains talk. NY is one of the leaders in the alt.fuel push, however, so my hopes are high.
