I'd say it's more of a stepping stone in the path to get off the OPEC teet. I really don't see why there are so many naysayers. It creates a few jobs here and there, keeps the construction folks in work, creates some traffic for your precious (or hated) railroad(s) and creates more markets for all this GMO corn we have in this country that no one else wants. <br /> <br />Sure, in this particular case someone ***ed up, but how often does that happen?
