Still no ethanol production in Hawaii.

[Johnboy60]

More than two years after the state began requiring gasoline to be blended with ethanol, Hawai'i has yet to see local production of the fuel.

Ethanol is an alternative, grain-based fuel that can be produced locally from sugar cane or one of its byproducts. Corn is the primary crop used to make ethanol in the United States.

Ethanol proponents in Hawai'i had projected local production would begin by 2006, but so far no facilities have even broken ground.

This isn't a surprise at all. Hawaii tends to be VERY backwards on all efforts to reduce dependancy on imported commodities.
