So you pour in bags of sugar and get out motor fuel, how can that possibly save money! Looks more like legal moonshine to me.

The current argument now is that bioethanol isn't sustainable because it requires lots of water, and fuels travel hundreds of miles from production point to consumption. This is a smaller carbon footprint than petro-fuels, but continuing my point…

Imagine a refinery like this in every neighbourhood in every city. Standalone fueling stations with one of these, solar-powered plug-in kiosks for electric cars, and natural gas valves.

I'll have to look into this some more, because if it only does grain refined bioethanol and not cellulosic, any benefits would be nullified. But if it works on cellulosic — hell, let 'em loose and run wild!
