There is only one catch: Turning corn into ethanol takes energy.

That's a pretty big catch. I wonder if someone just now told Mr. Wald about that or if he finally listened to someone who was not claiming that the sky is falling (or warming).

"That's a pretty big catch"

not at all...
the newer mills are being built next to cow pastures
what you don't use to make ethanol; you feed the cows and then use the cow manure for energy to operate the mills...
talk about being self sufficient!LOL

Boiling oil to make gasoline requires energy also.
