Ethanol and why George Dubya pushed it so hard

Cause it takes more fossil fuel to harvest ethanol than the ethanol provides in the end. 1 Square meter of land produces 1 watt of power whereas 1 square meter of photvoltaics gives you 120 watts per day and solar modules last 25 plus years these days.

Over it's life span a solar module will recoup 10 to 30 times the energy used to produce it.
