So, making ethanol only really makes sense if you use something like wind,
solar, or nuclear power to provide the vast majority of power and energy used
in the whole production cycle of ethanol....

If you dont do THAT, then your at best making a little more ethanol than the
gas you started with (and wasted alot of valuable food and land in the process)
and at worst you've actually ended up with LESS fuel than you started with (and
have totally wasted a non-renewable fuel source)....

But if they're actually making this ethanol for fuel, then it would make sense to run
the agricultural equipment on it. Then *if your memory is correct*, at best they use
2/3 of their product just growing it.
