Re: Study says ethanol not worth the energy
You all know that I'm a huge ethanol supporter, have always used ethanol, and will continue to use ethanol. Cornell University has (to my recollection) never had anything pro-ethanol ever be published and David Pimentel (again to my recolletion) has been one to continually preach against ethanol. However, I have read reviews of his work before and have learned that many are cautious about his publications because he loves to use agricultural production figures and facts that are beyond outdated versus modern information. By using the outdated information, he is 100% correct as ethanol used to be a complete waste of energy due to the drastic loss ration in terms of production versus output. However, this has been improved exponentially in recent years. I just got back from an American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers conference in Tampa Bay, FL. I'll do some digging through the most updated technical papers and publications and see what I can find for facts to post up.
