A lot of folks are under the impression that it reduces CO2 emissions. After all instead of burning fossil fuel you are burning a renewable resource (corn) and don't add new CO2 to the carbon cycle. If only it were that simple. Growing and harvesting it with monster tractors sporting air conditioned cabs while sucking huge quantities of diesel fuel, processing and fermenting it uses a huge amount of energy that has to come from somewhere. And what is in these tiny bubble coming up in the vat of mash? I suppose that if you use sugar cane like they do in Brazil where there are human beings with machetes harvesting it, you might do better than breaking even. Lets chop down some more rain forests and grow sugar cane.
