So what is your answer?
Is corn Ethanol perfect, no, but what's better, cellulostic is better and is coming, but corn still has it advantages.
1: We are good at growing it.
2: We have the equipment to grow it.
3: It stores really well.
4. We already have storage capacity.
5. Cows love the leftovers, most of us like beef.
Corn ethanal is(maybe) a stepping stone to the next source of ethanol feed stock. You can't expect farmer or any industry to swap gears from growing (manufacturing) one product to another overnight or even 10 years.
Until the next feed stock makes more BTU's per acre of ethanol and meat protien combined corn's the winner.
