just heard on the 5:30 news that some company is planning on building a
factory in Florida that will produce ethanol from orange peel and other
citric waste.

wonder what that will do to citric prices in the stores.......



Let's say that hypothetically, the waste is what's left after making

orange
juice. Why would using the waste for some other purpose affect the price

of
the juice you buy?


Maybe not juice, but maybe milk. Like high corn prices have done.
"Food into Fuel", the 21st century miracle......... And, they'll still feed
the leftover, less nutritional crap to cows.

FPL to Convert Citrus Waste Into Ethanol | Chron.com - Houston ..."That
waste is normally converted into animal feed. Our waste product is the
animal feed, so the animals don't lose out completely," Stewart said.

Great. So
