It may take me a while to find it, but the 7 gallons of fuel for 8 gallons of ethanol study used bad accounting practices (for lack of a better term). Do you remember where those numbers originated? The carbohydrates in the corn are turned to ethanol, leaving the protein behind which can then be used as a protein supplement for feeding animals (straight corn doesn't have enough protein). In other words, ethanol isn't the only end product. There is currently an overabundance of food production in the world. In fact many countries pay farmers to set aside land and <strong>not</strong>plant food crops. The world hunger problem is due to so many people not having the resources to buy even government subsidized food. Growing more corn won't change that. I'll admit, at this point its hard to get what I consider to be reliable information (from either side) on the true cost effectiveness of ethanol production and how much "economy of scale" there would be if it took off. Personally, I think we'd be better off if every state in the country had built at least two more nuclear power plants in the last three decades. romeo13, I think that data is based on a lot of incorrect assumptions.
