8、ard of Directors12010 Ethanol Industry OUTLOOKIn many ways 2013 was a challenging year as the ethanol industry continued to struggle with the effects of an historic drought and a well-funded media and political campaign intended to undermine support for renewable fuels. But, as always, U.S. ethanol

Providing consumers options at the pump is es-sential to controlling volatile gasoline prices and minimizing the energy security and environmental impact of Americas dependence on oil.We will see signifi cant commercial scale p
