It takes about one gallon of oil derived fuel to produce, one gallon of ethanol. One gallon of ethanol has only 75% of the energy content of one gallon of gasoline. Thus the energy yield of the process is negative and co2 emissions are dramatically increased. The real problem is with legislators more concerned with re-election than solving the (imagined) problem(?) of serious CO2 Driven Climate Warming. I am a retired electronic engineer who has spent an intensive 6 months reviewing so-called global warming and am convinced it is just a hoax driven by people like Al Gore in support of their investment company (see google) that is heavily invested in alternative energy companies.

They remind me of that neighborhood dog barking from behind the fence. I would have to agree with the aforementioned ‘PG Disinfotainment Watch’.
