N.F.W.!!!!


notice the juxtaposition of 10,000 gallons of oil per acre of production compared to 328 BARRELS of ethanol produced from an acre of corn....

they kinda stretched the limits of credibility with that statement...

they do go on to state it may be possible to go to 25000 gallons of fuel when ramped up to commercial production which would be approximately 800 barrels of fuel... so... they are saying only 31.5 gallons / barrel? I thought it was 33... either way, 32gallons/barrel is only 312.5 barrels of fuel... so corn makes more. and corn gets diluted from 10% in standard fuel, to 85% in E85(which nobody uses really...)
