Trash-to-ethanol plan gets Hobart’s support

City officials in Hobart are supporting a plan by Lake County, Indiana solid waste officials to build a trash-to-ethanol conversion plant in the county, reports the Northwest Indiana Times.
City officials have agreed to draft a letter supporting efforts by the Lake County Solid Waste Management District to turn garbage into ethanol.
The council’s agreement Wednesday to go forward with a letter of support followed a presentation at a meeting two weeks ago by district manager Jeff Langbehn.
Langbehn said the district’s board voted in March to draft a contract with Genahol-Powers 1 LLC and Indiana Ethanol Power LLC, both of Evansville, and Allied Waste, of Crown Point, to turn the county’s municipal garbage into biofuel and more traditional recyclable materials.
Meanwhile, county officials have delayed a vote on the proposed trash-to-cellulosic ethanol plant for up to two months to work out contract details, reports the Northwest Indiana Times.

Jerry Davich calls it as he sees it — we’re all addicted to gasoline. And, if you deny it, it just confirms the truth of the addiction.
Give me some more gas — just this last time. I promise I’ll quit wasting fuel. Please!
Don’t despair if riding a bike isn’t always feasible — we can always buy a hybrid or E85 flex fuel vehicle until we roll out the hydrogen vehicles!
