This blog is dedicated to letting the citizens of Webster County and anyone drawing drinking water from the Ozarks Aquifer determine whether or not they want a corporation build an ethanol refining plant near Rogersville. This plant will use close to ONE BILLION GALLONS EACH YEAR FROM THE OZARKS AQUIFER.

Irony
I think it is ironic that Webster county is being told by this corporation (and our government, evidently) that there is plenty of water out there and that this some odd billion gallon per year use by one company is not an unreasonable use while at the same time Springfield city leaders (see Springfield News-Leader, 06/01/07) are taking the initiative to PROTECT THEIR water supply by tightening use restrictions and urging conservation... Isn't the community of Joplin also entering crisis mode in their search for a clean water supply?
