Definitely! He shows 5.8 million kilowatt hours of sunlight input, which appears to be the only way he can come up with his 6:1 guess. That sunlight will fall on the hectare of land regardless of whether corn is growing on it: it is crazy to consider that an energy cost.

He shows CO2 thrown off from distillation but does not show the CO2 absorbed by the corn.
