That media comment drives me nuts!
For example, someone on the GM FYI blog stated that "it takes between 0.9 and 1.0 gallons of petroleum to produce each gallon of ethanol" from corn, so it's a wash.
Even if the numbers are true, it's always overlooked that it takes 1.1 MJ (megajoule) of petroleum energy to produce 1 MJ of gasoline energy, roughly 2.1 gallons of petroleum get consumed for each gallon of gasoline consumed (including the consumed gasoline). With ethanol, that would be reduced to the stated 0.9 to 1.0 gallons of petroleum, a significant and worthwhile reduction in petroleum consumption even if corn is the ethanol source.
And, the technology holds huge promise with the Cellulosic forms of production.
