Excerpt from the Waseca County News:

Representative Terry Morrow (DFL - St. Peter) thanked the crowd and the community for helping this plant get back up and running.

He added that it there has been bipartisan support for helping the Minnesota ethanol industry get off the ground.

“We represent a region, not a party,” he said of his fellow speakers.

He also addressed the complaint by some of the amount of water the ethanol process uses.

“It takes more water to make a gallon of beer than a gallon of ethanol,” he said. “And I don’t hear anyone saying we should stop making beer.”

Morrow went on to say that by reviving this project, the community is helping to bring new jobs to the area.  “You are showing that southern Minnesota can be an economic hotbed,” he said.
