Ethanol

I just saw an add for GM vehicles that will run on E85 ethanol. Doesn't ethanol take more energy to produce than gasoline? Sure it may emit less greenhouse gasses but if it puts out more to produce it, what's the point? It sounds like GM is putting a lot of stock in ethanol, claiming to have 1.something million vehicles that are ready to run on it. Is this another band-aid, like the hybrids, to the problem, not a solution?
