Corn Ethanol Can Never Replace Meaningful Quantities of Motor Fuel

At least someone is thinking. Now convience the Feds and Ag lobby and you might get somewhere. Oh, what you forgot in you calcualtions is the energy cost to produce all of the ethanol... Some estimates it is a break even proposition in terms of ethanol BTU. If so, then the ethanol net BTU value/benefit should be near zero. The bottom line is we need to conserve, build more nuclear, convert coal to liquids aka South Africa, and allow offshore and ANWAR oil field developments. And annex Canada...(Just joking. Canadains are very good friends and allies and they produce good hockey players)
