03_28_05ArgonneNatlLabEthanolStudy.pdf Looking at the very first synopsis page showing how 'good' ethanol production is wrt fossil fuel use: To net 1mil.BTU of end product: "Petroleum to Gasoline: 1.23mil.Btu Fossil Energy Input" "Corn to EtOH: 0.74mil.Btu Fossil Energy Input" Now, to net the .74mil.BTU of Fossil Energy Input to produce 1mil.BTU EtOH requires .74 x 1.23mil BTU Fossil Energy Input, or about 1mil BTU Fossil Energy Input for each 1mil.BTU EtOH. (I know, not enough info for accurate conclusion, etc.) www.ncga.com/public_policy/PDF/03_28_05ArgonneNatlLabEthanolStudy.pdf I'm still trying to calculate how much methane induced global warming is produced by Al Gore's steak eating --- ruminants, final flatulence, etc. Must produce potent warming --- at least as much as my little car.
