actually it was the pump house,and yes he came from a Brew mister family and the rest is History. His idea was if you can burn it,well the old Johnny Popper will run just fine and it did.

If you check the Ownership of some of these Ethanol Plants,well,you will see Names Like Koch Industries,Central Harvest States(Cenex) ,ADM/Partnership with Oil Majors. Once the Ethanol industry hit over capacity,many went Bankrupt and the Oil companies picked them up for pennies on the dollar. And the Tax Payer takes it in the shorts again. Planned build out to benefit the Majors and no one else.
