True, but the data's old, 20 years or so on the cost of production. A study
from this year says you're about 30% ahead producing ethanol. And it's on
dryland (non-irrigated) corn so that leaves out at least one rather costly
input.

Fortune, in a rather starry-eyed article, says the future is not corn
but other biomass. Forgot what it is called, but it was junk trees and
the like, a fairly broad spectrum of growth.

Wood alcohol?
