Kentucky Weighing In On Alternative Fuels
KENTUCKY....
With gas prices on the rise, Kentucky is weighing how to making alternative fuels a reality. State Senator David Givens, R-Greensburg, who was part of a state task force that a year ago made recommendations for biomass and biofuels development in Kentucky, said implementing the group's recommendations will take time. State universities are doing much of the research, with some cooperation from energy production companies. Tim Hughes, a policy analyst for the Governor's Office of Agriculture Policy, suggested that within a year, fuel will be produced from corn cobs and stover for $2 a gallon.
