All the new plants use the corn stalks and solid waste to provide themselves with all of their energy requirements with plenty of byproduct left over, which is given away as livestock feed.

The plants are 100% self sufficient, no fossil fuels are used at all.

Perhaps you have ethanol confused with Hydrogen Fuel Cells.

Most of the newest plants coming up burn coal. The huge amount of co2 produced in ethanol production, not to mention by burning coal or natural gas (or even waste), means environmentalists will never accept ethanol as fuel.
