Ethanol Is Not Green
By Mr Ethanol | June 13, 2007
Hawaii Reporter:
“University of California-Berkeley professor of civil engineering T. Patzek has argued that the use of ethanol as a gas additive is a misguided public policy decision because it takes more fossil fuel to produce ethanol than the energy that comes from it. D. Pimentel, professor of ecology and agriculture at Cornell University added that ethanol is not sustainable because its production from corn requires 29% more fossil energy than the fuel produced.”
