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. Only its much more efficient to take the oil and gas and put it straight into the energy marketplace then to wash it through a bunch of transactions to turn that energy into hydrogen.

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.
