Rural communities nationwide can each make enough ethanol for their own needs with what we know now. Crops grown locally or any other local source can be fermented and distilled locally, and the ethanol can be distributed in the local community. No shipping of fuel is needed. A small-scale turnkey ethanol production facility can be contracted, planned and developed with government or industry support. Then the government or industry can help communities obtain the turnkey ethanol facility by regulating the process and making the whole process transparent to everybody.
