E Energy Adams Live Webcam
After putting a link to E Energy Adams in my last ZimmCast post I took a closer look at their website and found out I could take a closer look at their ethanol plant under construction. If you’ve ever wanted to watch an ethanol plant being built, well now you can. They’ve got a very cool live webcam set up …
Ethanol, EPIC and Indy
This past weekend I got to spend some time in the home state attending the XM Satellite Radio Indy 300. It was historic because it was the first race powered by 100% ethanol fuel.

First of all, I thought that in a week or so with the new box I was pretty well prepared for this but it has been a challenge. When you’re …
