And just what source of energy are they going to use to turn the corn into ethanol, and then to turn the ethanol into hydrogen? The answer of course, is oil and gas. What sources of energy do we use right now to crack and distil crude oil? The answer is oil & gas. Seems a net wash to me if you get the same rate of BTUs out the back end as we currently do.
