To produce fossil fuel you first have to grow the organisms, let them all die and condense into fossil fuel for millions of years then harvest the stuff using modern technology. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to produce a gallon of gasoline... I'm not an expert either but I suspect the 29% + argument uses at least a little of this type of logic; especially if they are factoring in, growing corn as part of the energy expense.

Like I said, the plus or minus on energy produced is chickenshit. Ethanol cuts air pollution in half by making a more complete burn of the gasoline. You like air pollution? You may like what Gore liked, MTBE, which only cut pollution during the warm up phase of the engine and is causing cancer. I thought you liberals liked cleaner air and less acid rain. I guess I was wrong.
