Corn based ethanol yields either a negligible or negative engergy return. Sugar cane based ethanol (and I think a few others) deliver a net gain. Brazil offers nationwide E85 because they use sugar cane ethanol. And I'm sure their Coke uses real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup too. And their soccer team kicks ass...
Let's bomb them!!!
