Not true, overall (although it can when using the most inefficient farming & production practices) and the people making that claim usually are pretty obvious axe-grinders.
It's also ignoring the fact that a major reason for ethanol in gas is as a pollution-control additive. Remember all the problems with the old MTBE additive?
