Let me recognize another innovator who did more with what he had, who saw more than just a cheese processing plant at the crossroads of a small central Wisconsin town. This is someone who took the leftover ingredients of cheesemaking – whey permeate – and found a way to turn it into a renewable fuel. He then set up a local distribution network for his cheese-based ethanol. I am proud to introduce Joe Van Groll.Just tell me where I have to go — how much gas I have to burn getting to a place where I can buy gasoline without the fucking ethanol that is screwing up my gas mileage? I don't want to drive with cheese! I don't want to drive on corn! Quit forcing me to put food in my car.
You know, in other places, they just eat cheese. But here we wear it on our heads when we watch football and now, thanks to Joe, Wisconsin is the state where we can even use it to drive our cars.

Using corn to manufacture ethanol has driven up the price of tortillas in many third world countries, especially Mexico.
Using whey to manufacture ethanol is driving up the price of infant formula. some of which includes whey protein as a primary ingredient.
How an earth is that a good thing?
Foolish, elitist American politicians believe that they can make the world a better place, without any understanding or concern for the consequences of their actions.
