The Rumour Mill

12/05/11 -- News reaching Nogger Towers suggests that the shops have sold out of these in the Recar area. Officially unconfirmed reports suggest that the Ensus bioethanol refinery in Wilton, one of - if not the largest - wheat bioethanol refineries in the world which only went into production early in 2010 will be "moth-balled" for "2-4 months" around the end of the month.

It would seem that with UK wheat prices now at well over GBP200/tonne the economics of the equation of turning food into fuel clearly don't currently stack up.
