A couple of weeks ago, a small story appeared in the Stockton Record:
Ethanol Supports Approved:
Pacific Ethanol Inc. said Wednesday that its two California production plants, including a currently idle facility in Stockton, have been accepted by the state Energy Commission for a new price support program.
The California Ethanol Producer Incentive Program would provide payments to ethanol producers when market conditions are poor but would require the payments be reimbursed when economics improve....
The incentive program itself is stalled, however, by the ongoing state budget impasse....
Pacific Ethanol's operating subsidiaries, including its California production plants in Stockton and Madera, emerged from Bankruptcy Court reorganization in late June. Both remain offline, waiting for market conditions to improve.
Below the fold, multiple layers of wrong.
1. What's wrong with ethanol?

The case centering on fired ag official Shirley Sherrod has been horribly mishandled.
Secretary Tom Vilsack at USDA is the one who should go or apologize, Iowa vote regardless. This is a teaching and learning moment that cannot be fumbled away anymore.
Too many people panicked when they listened to a snippet of her speech posted by right-wing activists, and a person with a genuine and important story that needs to be heard and honored got thrown under the bus.
Letting the anti-Obama right define these issues through
propagandist manipulations is a crazy, self-defeating mistake.
You cannot buy into its Alice in Wonderland
narrative - - that white America is the new racial victim - - because it's false and politically-motivated, with the November and 2102 elections the real target.

Yeah, they took it down, but predicted more.
Ugh.
