The answer is complicated, but the short version is that it takes more energy to produce Ethanol then Ethanol itself gives back in the form of fuel.

Wrong.

Like many, you fail to take into account the fact that a large portion of the corn in the ethanol production process ends up as cattle feed.

I don't know why so many are so intent on continuing to push this sort of false information.

I guess you'd rather that those literal mountains of Midwestern corn would be sold for a pittance and shipped to China to have value added.

I'd rather burn corn than Saudi oil, thanks.

We need a motto. How about...

Ethanol: Don't worry, we'll grow more!

;-)
