While I'm not a big proponent of corn-based ethanol, it is difficult to generalize about its carbon footprint advantage. If the corn is grown optimally (e.g. no-till with cover crops, nitrification inhibitors...) the foot print is respectable. Still, sugar cane is the clear winner today and it is ridiculous to have tarrifs against it. We should be encouraging well done (from an environmental and social point of view) sugar cane everywhere it makes sense (e.g. Cuba, Brazil, some parts of Africa...) <strong>Steven Savage, Ph.D.</strong> This blog has a great deal of good information - just a couple of comments.
