using all the farmland in the country for grain-based ethanol wouldn't be enough to meet the U.S. demand for fuel

But it would do wonders for food prices. <g>

Today, I met a gal from Iowa in my local CA bike shop. I asked her what she thought of ethanol's future. She said it takes too much energy to make ethanol from corn for it to become a popular fuel choice. I have been hearing that a lot lately.
