Not a surprise. Ethanol had a footprint > it's fuel value. Eventually it came down to break-even then a positive return. But we need fuel, and it could be made with electricity. So it had a place (and still does). These things are complicated. Lots of foods have footprints > beef. We eat them too. For {reasons}. Hopefully this situation will improve. Hopefully all sorts of situations will improve! This one like all the others, no different.
