The strib has a history of spinning ethanol woes, and studies. The "scientific research" out of the U OF M seems biased to me, granted, I'm not a scientist, but numbers can be manipulated to a degree. Just wait till other respected scientists and researchers review the study. I'm sure they will be poking holes in this guy's results.

Most producers in the ethanol industry already know, corn is not the best source of ethanol... Which the news media seems to skip and proclaim "ethanol is a bad alternative source of energy, period". Corn is the primary source now, but better crops for producing ethanol are getting closer to reality. It's too bad the U of Minnesota doesn't publish a scientific study on these other crops. I guess they just want to keep buying oil, from a market dominated by OPEC. I'm glad we have an alternative. It is not perfect but it is a choice.

I'll get of my soap box now..
