Ethanol Still Tennessee
Each state legislates whether labeling is mandatory, voluntary, or not required when gasoline contains ethanol. Many states have moved away from labeling ethanol, so it is not always possible to tell if you're getting ethanol-blended fuel at the pump.

We The People/Wisconsin Series: Gas Prices And Ethanol
MADISON, Wis. -- Gas price frustration is spilling over from the pump into Campaign 2006. Gubernatorial candidates Gov. Jim Doyle and U.S. Rep. Mark Green have stressed looking for alternative fuels. VIDEO: Watch The Report But neither have advocated what Kenosha's Marrcus Mollenarro is doing. "I wanted to do something," said Mollenarro. "I was not going to put up with it no more. I just couldn't do it." After seeing President George W. Bush talk about E-85 in an energy speech, Mollenarro went to his computer and searched the Internet for more information. He found a Tennessee company selling stills. He bought one. The price tag was $1,300. Mollenarro is now brewing his own ethanol on property he owns with his storage company business in southeastern Wisconsin.
Southwest Minnesota news and notes
REDWOOD FALLS, Minn. -- Fourteen Minnesota school districts are joining forces hoping to create a revenue source and an educational experience for students by tapping the font of renewable energy. The districts have signed on to a plan that would give schools cooperative ownership of a wind farm. Mike Pieper from Johnson Controls, the firm organizing the project, says the schools involved want to bring math and science to students in a way that has positive economic, social and environmental outcomes. Johnson Controls will fund the development costs of the wind farm. The subsequent revenue is expected to pay back those costs and then supplement school budgets. The site of the wind farm hasn't been chosen, but six locations in south central and southwestern Minnesota are being considered.
From biotech to biofuels
The last time Mark Wong made news here, the chemical engineer-turned-businessman had just sold his cottonseed company, Emergent Genetics, to Creve Coeur-based Monsanto Co. for $335 million.
That was last April. A year later, Wong and a handful of executives from Emergent Genetics are sowing a new seed -- this one to tap the modern-day gold rush known as the ethanol business.
Like his previous company, Wong's latest venture -- Renewable Agriculture Energy Inc. -- is based in Boulder, Colo. But the company plans to make St. Louis the operations center, with the local office led by the former director of the National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center, Martha Schlicher, who joined the company in June.
Renewable Agriculture Energy's ambitions aren't modest.
