They can't sell us SUVs any more. I'm not buying a new car until it's a plug-in electric.   What does GM have to lose? They can’t sell us SUVs any more.

It's true all the protein is left, but neither cows nor any other mammal can live on protein alone. In fact, grazing animals such as cows need to have protein intake strictly limited. Distiller's grain is not in any way a premium feed -- it sells at the same price (or lower) than other feeds including whole corn. There is indeed a lot of misinformation out there. Please stop adding to it. #104 Arch said: “You and me both. The reason we grow corn is for the protein. We can make alcohol with the corn and end up with more protein that we started with.
