The corn ethanol industry has to figure out another way to process corn into ethanol that is not so corn-intensive.

Huh? Maybe make it less corn intensive by substituting oil that comes from the California coastline?

They're refering to cellulosic ethanol in which the whole plant gets digested by enzymes and requires much less energy to produce the ethanol. You won't need corn to make it. Get that oil too.
