I've given you my responses via the Cornell/Berkley independent study. you have given me biased ethanol.org and wacko CTA statistics to counter. But it's my job to disprove it? What do you have from truly independent sources concerning the viability of ethanol without subsidies?

>>>Cornell/Berkley independent study

That study is crap. It uses old data, and does not take into account changes in the technology in ethanol production and farming.

Current information can be found at:

http://www.ethanol.org/documents/NetEnergyBalanceofEthanol.pdf - this one specifically debunks your pals from Cornell/Berkley.

Again, the issue of subsidies is irrelevant until you factor in the subsidies into the cost of petrol. I've provided documentation that shows petrol is far more subsidized than ethanol. Can you disprove that or not?
