Wal-Mart May Enter Ethanol Fuel Industry

Bentonville, Arkansas (AHN) - A spokesman for Wal-Mart said that the world's largest retailer may offer ethanol made from corn at its 383 U.S. gas stations but isn't ready yet to make any announcements in the field.

Amid the soaring gas prices the retailers' possibility to pump bio-ethanol is seen as a boost to the growing fuel industry.

According to a report by the Associated Press, the world's largest corporation brought together a group of industry, government and academic experts on alternative fuels in Washington last week to discuss how Wal-Mart could develop a network for supplying gas stations at its stores and Sam's Clubs with E-85 fuel.

Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Gardner said," We are looking to continue to work with and identify strategic partners in the business community to further our efforts in the alternative fuels arena."

Representatives from the fuel industry, Wal-Mart suppliers and government and nongovernmental experts including the National Corn Growers Association were among the attendees of the meeting.

Wal-Mart currently owns and operates gas stations at 375 of its nearly 570 Sam's Club locations and another eight on the grounds of Wal-Mart stores.

Are you saying this is a bad idea?

No ......I am laughing at everything the leftist liberal socialists think about Super Walmart Mercado ......the "Great Satan II".


Slim

Is Wallyworld the largest corporation? I realize it is the largest retailer, however ... Anyway, realize that everything in the retail world is all about selling & money. There are few considerations given to anything else.

No ......I am laughing at everything the leftist liberal socialists think about Super Walmart Mercado ......the "Great Satan II".


Slim

But so far, nobody has responded to your post, so what are you laughing at?

Hey, if they want to offer a new service I say go for it. Good idea

I applaud them for trying to make money ........in ethanol or banking.


Slim

No ......I am laughing at everything the leftist liberal socialists think about Super Walmart Mercado ......the "Great Satan II".Anyone remember my post about the misuse of the word "liberal"? Well there's a perfect example. How someone could be a liberal and a leftist socialist at the same time is beyond me.

I don't mean to rip on you, slim... it's just a little pet peeve of mine.

I applaud them for trying to make money ........in ethanol or banking.

I agree with you on that one; 'trying' to make money

I doubt that their ethanol business is going to be very profitable

Well ....Jester ..........you are confusing a classical liberal (libertarian) ........with a leftist socialist Democrat .......who call themselves liberals ....or worse yet ....progressives.
