Lets say all my inputs to grow an acre of corn is energy costs.
It cost me $475 an acre last year to grow an acre of corn. $150 of that was land rent. So that leaves $325 for Fuel, Fertilizer,Seed, Chemicals and machinery. We will call all that cost energy which we know it is not.
My acre of corn produce 175 bushels of corn.
Those 175 bushels of corn makes 490 gallons of ethanol.
490 gallons at $1.45 per gallon equals $710 worth of gas.
By my figures it has doubled the energy.
Do a little checking on how much energy it takes to make a gallon of gas.
