You are wrong about it taking more energy to produce ethanol than it produces.However the thing that produces the most is sugar cane.Cant grow sugar cane in the midwest but we can grow corn.If you are so proud of oil then why not you just dont buy ethanol.Its not hard to find out what corn produces for energy,and only a dumb@ss would say it produces less energy than it takes to make it.Plus you have feed when its made into ethanol left over.17% or more for feed.I dont know what else you would use in the midwest untill they figure out the switchgrass/cornstalk/cob/tree whatever else,but when they do,you will be burning ethanol more than oil I bet.
