{Corbin, Kentucky}...Patriot Bioenergy Corporation has more than 20 acres of energy beets growing in Whitley County, and officials are hoping to build an ethanol plant that would use energy beets as fuel instead of corn. CEO Roger Ford says the company would use natural gas to spark the process to glean fuel from the produce. Ford says Patriot is eyeing a 99-acre plot in Williamsburg for the plant.
