The U.S. ethanol industry is now one of the most talked about items in the world. For good reason with the new palnts that are going up, plus the ones that are already producing ethanol round-the-clock give folks much to be positive about. But what about the negatives? Negatives? Yes, negatives. There are plenty and one is demand. How can demand be a negative?

Ty Andros writes on commodity trader.com that ethanol isn't that economical to produce and isn't the best btu fuel. Not the "bang for the buck" that we assume.  Potential investors be wary as the train is on the track heading right for you and its picking up steam for the consumer that gets in the way.
