It's just ridiculous.

I read somewhere that if they used ALL of the corn grown in the United States, it would only supply 10% of the fuel needed for our vehicles. No common sense involved.

I'll wait for Geordi or Scotty to come up with some power converters.

"At least the total energy budget producing ethanol from corn in Brasil is positive."

Brazil doesn't produce ethanol from corn, which is a net negative. They produce it from sugar cane, which is a net positive.
