Ten to 15% of that total is 14-22 billion gallons. Hence, 5 billion is a drop in the bucket when you consider how little it reduces our dependency on oil. 5 billion isn't a drop in the bucket compared to 14-22 billion. Its a significant fraction. 14% is a lot? Yes 14% of our corn production is a lot. There is third point.......you gave out erroneous data. And I acknowledged the initial data was probably wrong, and used your data for the calculations in the post to show that "the portion of corn that goes to ethanol is large and rising", and that its not reasonable to "look to ethanol to be more than a marginal part of reducing gasoline and/or oil use".
