thought I read somewhere that if all of the current corn acreage was used for fuel, it would only be about 10% of our needs. I think there is a capacity problem that cannot be overcome.

That's true and it's driving up the price of beef - at this rate I'll need two or three deer tags. The holy grail is the discovery of an economical process to use the corn stalks instead of the grain - cellulosic ethanol.

You would think there would not be that big a leap between using sugar cane vs corn stalks. Using the corn stalks would still allow the farmer to benefit while not inflating feed costs.
