[QUOTE="ayoustin, post: 1559902, member: 28480"] Most of the ethanol in the US is made from bio waste and switchgrass. Neither are as efficient as sugar cane but that needs a particular climate to grow and mature. Corn's yield of ethanol is actually pretty bad, but it's one of the first forms used to create ethanol which is why you see corn so much on labels etc. I wrote a pretty lengthy research paper on ethanol and its viability a few years ago. Long story short is it's pretty much a break even fuel right now. It'd have much more positive gains if we had the infrastructure and commitment to use it more widespread as well as if manufacturers designed engines around it instead of gasoline. The biggest thing it has going for it vs other forms of fuel is it requires the least amount of work to adapt our current infrastructure to support it. [/QUOTE]
