I wonder, how much SVO diesel can be made from a bushel of corn vs. ethanol? And how much energy is required to do it?.....

Good point. Considering that diesel is much more efficient.
Did a *very* rough calculation of how much square area would be required to grow ethanol as fuel to replace gasoline -- approx 3.5 states the size of Colorado. Posted it here on FR.
The point: a huge amount of real estate is required!
Will try to find the post if you are interested.
Maybe genetic engineering will help improve the yield, too.
