There are thousands of acres of fallow fields on former dairy farms in upstate PA. This could prove to be a boon to former farm families who are just sitting on acreage and working elsewhere. It could also translate into a rise in price/acre in NEPA.

I've been following the ethanol issue for some time and the plants in the midwest are doing just fine but haven't been able to keep-up with demand. Placing a plant closer to the population centers makes good sense economically. I've wondered for some time why this hasn't yet been done in PA.

I can't speak to the opposition from locals to the site choice. What's the issue?
