USATODAY.com - New production method uses far less energy than it creates:
by James R. Healey, USA TODAY -- 2/1/2006
"Just now in the demonstration stage, it has the potential to deliver ethanol using as little as one-tenth the energy that the fuel provides, according to a study by the University of California at Berkeley. Ethanol from corn, the most common source now, produces 26% more energy than it takes to make it, the study says. It takes more energy to make gasoline than gasoline yields."
