There was a story on NPR this last week about a 15 million gallon capacity ethanol plant planned on Oahu. With Dole closing out pineapple in Hawaii there will be a couple hundred thousand acres of underused ag land. The plan is, as I heard it, to plant sorghum and cane for ethanol production.

Part of the ethanol run will be as an extender for gasoline and part will be to displace oil for electric generation.

So it seems that it is underway and I think it is great!
