  • Innovation and Income in Rural US

    I believe that ethanol is going to create the next innovation and income revolution in US. It is going to unlock innovation momentum and open a new wide field in which a vast majority of US people can participate. It has low barriers of entry in innovation unlike sophisticated petroleum technologies which now requires sophisticated labs. By unlocking this spirit of innovation, it is going to create huge job momentum in rural America.
    In the same spirit, it is going to create huge income in the hands of people in rural America and also in hands of blue collar farm workers. The secondary impact of such income is likely to have a phenomenal growth impact on US economy in 5 years time. If you have a product idea whose consumers are going to be this class of people, go for it.
    This economic momentum requires protection from vagaries of oil prices i.e. a government mandated blending requirement. I think rest all will be taken care by entrepreneurs.
